SEAFOOD PASTA with CRAB MEAT SAUCE

                                        SEAFOOD PASTA WITH CRAB MEAT SAUCE

          
     An ideal family dinner to share. My little girl love this a lot, she is only 4 years old and she'll say ''save some for her lunch tomorrow;))''. I want to share this to all especially to all mums like me, who loves to feed their kids with a nutritious meal in one dish. This is very easy and convenient. I used crab meat in this recipe but you can use a canned tuna(I tried this before) depends on what you want best and for those allergic on shellfish.


                                                  INGREDIENTS:


                                                        100g of tiger prawns, de-veined
                                                        1 de-shelled crabs
                                                        few pieces of frozen mussels
                                                        1 cup tomato passata
                                                        1 teaspoon tomato paste
                                                        3 tablespoon olive oil
                                                        1 packet of spinach leaves(or depends how much you want)
                                                        3 cloves of garlic
                                                        1 medium sized onion
                                                        10 pcs. green or black olives
                                                        1 fresh tomato roughly sliced
                                                        1 lemon
                                                        350g spaghetti
                                                         salt and pepper to taste
                                                        wild rocket leaves for garnishing


          Here's how to cook:

                    1.) Prepare all the ingredients, chop the garlic and onions, slice the olives and tomato. Boil some water to cook the spaghetti according to the packet direction. Save about half a cup of the spaghetti water. Drain and set aside.
                     
                    2.) Heat a large pot or frying pan, pour olive oil, sauté garlic and onion until translucent then add in the chopped tomato. Stir nicely then add in the prawns, stir fry in medium fire for about 3 minutes or till the prawns are cooked. Lower the fire and take the prawns out, then add in the crab meat, season with salt and pepper according to your taste.  Stir.
           
                    3.) Pour in the tomato passatta and paste, and olives, stir nicely in medium heat. Leave it covered for 2 minutes then pour in the spaghetti water(from boiling the spaghetti, I mean). Let it boil, then add in the mussels. Once it's boiling, mix in the spaghetti, leave in very low heat. Then once it's totally incorporated to the sauce, add in the spinach on top, cover immediately and off the fire. After 5 minutes it should be ready, squeeze half of the lemon and stir nicely. Now it's ready to eat.
 
                    4.)  Serve it with lemon wedges and rocket leaves, or with parmesan cheese if you desire.
