  • 1 tin of Coles tomatoes

  • fennel scraps

  • onion scraps

Seafood

  • 500 g San Remo Spaghetti no. 5, broken into 4

Method

  • In a large pot boil the stock ingredients together to extract as much flavour as possible. Then strain and keep the stock warm.

  • In a paella pan or large flat frypan, fry off the onion and fennel in extra virgin olive oil with pinch of salt. Once soft add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the capsicum, cook for a couple of minutes until the capsicum starts to breakdown.

  • Add the smoked paprika and pasta into the pan, fry off. Add the stock and simmer until the stock hydrates the pasta. Add in the seafood and some parsley, cook until the seafood is ready.

  • Serve with extra parsley and lemon wedges.
