Step-by-step

  1. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Add the chopped tomatoes and red onion and cook over a low heat for 10-12 minutes, until very soft, adding a splash of water if needed. Season with salt, pepper and a few drops of balsamic vinegar.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the tagliatelle or linguine in lightly salted boiling water for 10-12 minutes or to packet instructions, until tender. Drain when cooked.
  3. Add the scallops to the tomato mixture and cook for 2 minutes, then add the cooked prawns, parsley and baby plum tomatoes. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute, until heated through.
  4. Gently stir the pasta through the tomato mixture and share between two warmed plates. Serve with parmesan cheese and extra parsley.

Cook’s tip: No scallops available? Use a few more prawns and add a handful of thawed frozen peas.

To skin tomatoes, put them into a heatproof bowl. Pour over boiling water and leave for 15-20 seconds, then drain. The skins will be easy to peel away.
