Seafood Pasta Recipe
Seafood Pasta Recipe
Hey Friends,
I was on cooking duties one night a few weeks ago and I remember making this one awesome seafood pasta dish and thinking…yummo! I am going to share this with the gang! Here it is.
First of all, I started with how all my recipes start. A simple google search. This gem showed up (CLICK HERE) and with this recipe as inspiration I created my beauty!
Recipe Modifications
Due to not having all of the ingredients, I improvised and modified the recipe:
- Added more garlic, chilli and herbs (mixed herbs and thyme), brussel sprouts and beans in the main dish.
- In the sauce I included honey instead of sugar and veggie stock (homemade) instead of chicken stock
- I used pasta as I love it more than rice!
