Method
- Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan, then cook the onion and garlic over a medium heat for 5 mins until soft. Add the paprika, tomatoes and stock, then bring to the boil.
- Turn down the heat to a simmer, stir in the pasta and cook for 7 mins, stirring occasionally to stop the pasta from sticking. Stir in the seafood, cook for 3 mins more until it’s all heated through and the pasta is cooked, then season to taste. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Added the white wine, chili pepper, and extra garlic as well as some black olives and spinach. Also made some garlic bread as there was a lot of liquid.
It was very tasty and seems very easy to adapt. Will be making it again! I'd like to hear from someone who has both cooked the pasta separately (what I did) and cooked it in the sauce with the stock.
Delicious.... Added a few extras...tbsp capers; pinch chilli flakes; used fish stock (800 ml) and one change with a main ingredient....using Sainsburys Free From spaghetti which is fantastic and not so filling. Pasta takes a little longer to cook; so cooked for 10 minutes before adding in the seafood...this is a must try and also a keeper!
Very nice recipe. I made this for my wife and I last night and it seemed to go down well. I did cook the spaghetti in the sauce and to be honest I think it helped as I find seafood based pastas usually too runny otherwise. It seemed to thicken well by adding the pasta to the sauce. Also added fresh sliced scallops and king prawns. Plush anchovies and capers in my portion. To get the consistency right I added part of the stock, then the spaghetti and topped up with stock while cooking as required. Also used Knorr fish stock cube instead of chicken stock.
