(Printable Recipe)
Ingredients
1 Packet (about 450 g) Linguine or Spaghetti
16 – 20 Large Peeled Prawns, tail intact
700 – 800g Clams
12 Medium Size Fresh Scallops
250 g Small Roma Tomatoes, halved
2 Cloves Garlic, thinly sliced or chopped
1 Small Bunch Fresh Basil Leaves, torn
1 Small Bunch Italian Flat Leave Parsley, chopped
1 Cup White Wine, divided
4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter, divided
Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Parchment Paper
Kitchen Strings
Method
Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the packaging's instructions, or until al dente. (Drain well)
Use 2 large pieces of parchment papers for each serving. Place the papers on a large bowl. Divide the pasta into equal portions (4 portions). Top the pasta with seafood, tomatoes, garlic, basil leaves, white wine, butter, and season with sea salt and black pepper. Wrap the paper up and tie it with kitchen strings.
Place the bags on a baking tray and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the seafood are fully cooked. To serve, cut the kitchen strings, open the paper bag, drizzle some olive oil and garnish the seafood pasta with parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
I'll try this for BBQ, but I need to wrap it the paper bag in an aluminium bag first.
ReplyDeleteOh, I've never heard of doing this before! I'd love to, it seems there would be a ton less dishes. The parchment doesn't get soggy and rip?
