Thus begins a sad chapter for phxculinaryadventures: one in which Becca and I must cook separately while I am attending law school in New York and she is working in Arizona. Yet, despite the difficulties this will inevitably raise in our motivation to cook and the time our schedules permit we are determined to keep the blog going. So, while our recipes may become a bit simpler and the pictures will be shot in different kitchens, we will continue updating for you; our 5 or so dedicated followers.
So here's the first of many. This one's super easy. I picked up a seafood blend at Trader Joe's (best place ever) which is what makes this otherwise complicated and expensive recipe easy. Besides that you just need marinara, olive oil, your pasta of choice, and some basic seasonings.
Get a pot of water boiling on the side for the pasta and separately dump the thawed seafood into a pan. I drained mine a little, but make sure to leave plenty of the liquid in the pan. Some of this water is going to cook off so your sauce isn't going to be watery in the end, plus the juices have lots of great seafood flavor. After you have drained add just a little bit of olive oil for the fish to cook in.
Once the fish is almost cooked through (or heated up in the event you bought pre-cooked seafood) add your marinara sauce.
Stir it in, adding more until you have the desired amount of sauce at around the desired consistency. Remember water will continue cooking off. Lower the heat to a simmer and stir every few minutes until the pasta is done.
Plate it and enjoy. This took me about 15 minutes total.
