Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 350g cherry tomatoes, halved
• 200g monkfish fillets, cut into chunks
• 200g tiger prawns, peeled and deveined
• 15g butter
• 1 handful fresh basil leaves, torn
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 250g pappardelle pasta
• 1 red chile (optional)

Instructions:

1. Heat oil in a pan: Begin by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic (and chopped red chile if using) and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

2. Add tomatoes: Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and let them cook down for a few minutes until they start to soften and release their juices.

3. Simmer: Pour in any fish or vegetable stock you may have on hand to enhance the flavor. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the tomatoes to break down.

4. Add seafood: Once the sauce has reduced slightly, stir in the butter and torn basil leaves. Now it’s time to add the monkfish and prawns to the pan, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.

5. Season and cook: Season the seafood and tomato sauce with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the monkfish is opaque and the prawns turn a vibrant pink color. Be careful not to overcook the seafood!

6. Cook pasta: While the sauce is simmering and the seafood is cooking, prepare the pappardelle pasta according to package instructions in a separate large pot of boiling salted water. Cook until al dente, then drain well.

7. Combine and serve: Once the pasta is cooked, drain it thoroughly and add it directly to the skillet with the tomato and seafood sauce. Toss everything together gently until the pasta is evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.

8. Serve: Transfer the Pasta with Monkfish and Prawns in Tomato Sauce to serving plates or bowls. Garnish with additional torn basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the delightful flavors of this seafood pasta dish!
