A trip down memory late for us. We prepared this BBQ Seafood Pasta Pot last weekend, an absolute feast.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 23 large onions, depending on the size (You do need lots of onion. Use what you think and then double up, trust me on this). Cut it up into small cubes.
  • 23 garlic cloves or 2-3 heaped tsp of bottled garlic (depending on your own taste)
  • 250g streaky bacon – it must have some fat on
  • 250300g mushrooms
  • 3/4 box of spaghetti or any other pasta, although we always use spaghetti
  • Olive oil
  • 250g Sharp Cheddar Cheese – grated
  • 250500 ml Full Cream
  • 1 bag Frozen Scallops
  • 1 bag Frozen Calamari or two large tubes
  • 1 bag Frozen Prawns or Shrimps
  • 1 bag Frozen Scallops
  • 1 bag Frozen Clams
  • 12 tins Smoked mussels and or oysters, we prefer to use mussels. (Use the oil in the tin, do not discard)

Instructions

  1. Defrost all the seafood and drain the liquid.
  2. Clean out and prepare your black pot (we used the Nr. 2 black cast iron pot) which will feed up to 8 people.
  3. Add enough oil and stir-fry the finely chopped onions.
  4. Add the chopped garlic and continue to slowly fry it with the onion, but DO NOT let it brown, it must be ¾ way cooked but still shiny.
  5. In the meantime, lightly precook the bacon (1 cm cubes) in a pan on the stove.
  6. Take the bacon out of the pan, and in the same pan, do the same with all the defrosted seafood ingredients and cook until ½ to ¾ way done, and make sure to discard all the liquid!
  7. Cook the spaghetti pasta al dente.
  8. Strain it and add some oil and mix it through the pasta to ensure that it does not stick together and keep aside.
  9. Once the garlic and onion mixture is semi-done add the seafood ingredients and then the pasta on top of the seafood and cook through.
  10. DO NOT add the cream and cheese at this point.
  11. Once you have everything heated through and it’s starting to slightly simmer, now add the cream (you can also add white wine if you wish) and top everything with loads of grated cheese.
  12. Close the pot and let it simmer for 2-5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
  13. Serve immediately with delicious homemade bread if you have and enjoy.
  14. 4 Ingredients Only, Yeast Artisan Bread
