Seafood pasta

A very easy low-fat and tasty pasta dish. I used spelt spaghetti with seaweed (hence it's color), but it works fine with regular spaghetti too or any other kind of pasta you have in the cupboard. Artichokes are in season in Spain, but if they don't grow where you live you can use other seasonal vegetables too like brocoli, cabbage, endives, leeks... Anything that will add a little crunch when stirfried. I added salmon because I had a piece that needed to be used up but it is still really tasty without.

Ingredient

1 piece

smoked salmon

1 bunch

fresh coriander (or parsley)

artichokes

spring onions (or 1 normal one)

1 bag

frozen prawns

1 tsp

chilli flakes

lemon

1 slosh

light soy sauce

to taste

salt and pepper

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Get all the ingredients together

* Step 2

If, like me, you usually forget to take the frozen prawns out of the freezer a few hours earlier (so they can de-freeze slowly in the fridge), just put the un-opened bag in the sink under running warm water and leave to float for a while. They will be ready to use in about 5 minutes.

* Step 3

Peel the hard leaves from the artichokes and squeeze some lemon juice over them to stop them from going brown.

* Step 4

Slice the artichokes and onions

* Step 5

Heat some olive oil in the frying pan with the cloves of garlic (whole and un-peeled) and chile flakes

* Step 6

Add the artichokes and onions and stir for a couple of minutes

* Step 7

Add the prawns and the salmon, cut into little pieces

* Step 8

Stir well

* Step 9

Prepare a pan of boiling water, add a bayleaf and a little oil and when it is boiling, add the pasta

* Step 10

Chop the fresh coriander (or parsley)

* Step 11

Add a slosh of soy sauce and the rest of the lemon juice to the pan and salt and pepper as you wish.

* Step 12

Strain the pasta

* Step 13

Put it in the bowl with the pan's contents and stir well. Usually I would add the coriander at this stage, but I have some pretty radical anti-coriander campaigners in my household..
