Instructions

Get Prepped
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with ½ tsp salt for the pasta.

Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces. Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the baby plum tomatoes

Put the tomatoes and baby leaves in a large bowl and set aside for later. 

Drain the mussels in a colander. Drain the prawns in their packet. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns.

Linguine Time
2

When your pan of water is boiling, add the linguine to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.

Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Start the Sauce
3

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in another large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the shallot and cook until softened, 3-4 mins.

Add the garlic and fry for 30 secs. 

Flex those Mussels
4

Stir in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount), vegetable stock paste, prawns and the drained mussels to the shallot pan. Bring to the boil.

Pop a lid on and cook until piping hot, 5 mins.

Discard any unopened mussels. IMPORTANT: Ensure the mussels are piping hot throughout. The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle

When the mussels and prawns are cooked, stir in the creme fraiche, butter (see pantry for amount) and half the parsley. Simmer until piping hot, 1-2 mins. 

Finishing Touches
5

Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the mussels from the sauce and transfer to a medium bowl. Cover to keep warm. 

Stir the drained linguine and grated hard Italian style cheese into the pan of sauce until well combined.

Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add splash of water if you feel it needs it.

Serve Up
6

When everything's ready, add the balsamic glaze and a drizzle of olive oil to the tomatoes and leaves. Toss together.

Share the creamy linguine between your bowls. Top with the mussels and remaining parsley. 

Serve the salad on the side.
