Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

This was delicious! Added white wine and chilli flakes as suggested and used a pack of mussels and a pack of prawns instead of a seafood mix as we don't like the squid. At the end I stirred in some chopped rocket and a few black olives as I had these left in the fridge. Will definately make again.

A clever one-pot! I used basil instead of parsley and also added frozen roasted Mediterranean vegetables

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!

This recipe is really delicious, I have however modified it slightly and I fry off chorizo and add this at the last minute with the freshly shelled prawns. It gives it a real kick and a lovely flavour.

I made this for my wife and I - She rarely praises my cooking attempts, but she did with this one - tasted great and quick and so easy to make. I have now shared this recipe with my sister and a colleague at work who rates himself in the kitchen.

I will definitely make again

Made this yesterday, added chili as suggested by others & added 1L chicken stock like the recipe says. I didn't have any problems with the sauce as when you cook the pasta in it it thickens and because very yummy!

Enjoyed this but might go a bit easier on the stock next time to get a thicker sauce. Good flavours though.

Made this for the first time without looking at any of the comments - however, I found that 1Ltr of water was far too much, also added a pinch of chilli to give it a kick...........

Really liked this recipe and super easy to boot. Didn't have any chicken stock in so just used vege instead - a little less as the liquid seemed too much when looking at it. Added some chili to the sauce and despite the other comments did it all in one pan and it turned out just fine. Really yummy.

Made this last night just using king prawns, the only paprika I had was the smoked type and with a small glass of fino sherry and a good pinch of saffron it was really tasty ! I was a bit worried that the sauce wouldn't thicken but it worked very well and we all enjoyed it

Loved this, it does need a bigger bag of seafood though, and although it's fine as it is, I did it again with saffron, chilli flakes and a bit of white wine and it took it to a whole new level. It's a very quick and easy meal for mid week, definitely a regular.

Have made this a few times now, it's a good quick and easy mid-week dish. Made sauce separately though and Used just prawns the second time as kids didn't like the seafood taste which was just as good. Used double the paprika and added mushrooms too.

fantastic! very quick and easy and yummy! reminded me of venice! was a bit dubious about frozen seafood but it worked great! and would use it in other things again.

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.
