Indulge in a luxurious seafood pasta infused with vibrant saffron essence.
Ingredients:
  • 375g fresh fettuccine
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 250ml (1 cup) white wine
  • 12 mussels, scrubbed, debearded
  • 24 (about 1kg) large green prawns, peeled, leaving tails intact, deveined
  • 2 squid tubes, thinly sliced crossways
  • 16 (about 200g) scallops, without roe
  • 300ml thickened cream
  • Large pinch of saffron threads
  • Chopped fresh continental parsley, to serve
Instructions:
  • Lay 1 pasta sheet on a floured surface, then cut it in half. Use the fettuccine setting on the pasta machine to create the noodles. Gently dust the fettuccine with flour to prevent sticking. Repeat with the rest of the pasta sheets.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, sauté the onion and garlic in hot oil until soft, around 5 minutes. Pour in the wine, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Add the mussels, cover, and cook for 3-4 minutes until they open. Transfer mussels to a bowl using a slotted spoon, discarding any unopened ones.
  • Gently introduce the prawns and squid to the flavorful wine mixture, allowing them to mingle for 2 minutes with occasional stirs. Then, gracefully incorporate the scallops, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the prawns curl and change color and the scallops are perfectly cooked. Finally, elegantly transfer the seafood to a lovely bowl using a slotted spoon.
  • Stir in the cream and saffron to the wine mixture and bring to a boil. Cook uncovered for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with pepper to taste.
  • Cook the pasta in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente, 5-8 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
  • Combine the seafood and sauce with the pasta, ensuring they are thoroughly mixed. Portion the dish into serving plates and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy right away.
