This sounds so good! Posting here to keep safe until I have some good seafood on hand. From Terry Durack, who also suggests turning it Asian by subbing hokkien or udon noodles for the spag, and instead of the tomato sauce a quick stir fry of garlic, chili and ginger, with a dash each of fish sauce, white wine and sweet chili. Mix with the seafood, put in the bag and bake 15 mins. So there's 2 recipes : )

Ingredients

2 serv.
  • olive oil2 tablespoons
  • garlic cloves, finely sliced2
  • canned chopped tomatoes400 g
  • white wine50 ml
  • dried oregano1 pinch
  • dried chili1 pinch
  • sugar1⁄2 teaspoon
  • anchovy fillets, chopped2
  • capers packed in salt, rinsed1 tablespoon
  • small black olives10
  • prawns, medium green6 -8
  • dried spaghetti220 g
  • clams, rinsed and in their shells (vongole)300 g
  • Italian parsley1 tablespoon

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 200°C.

  2. 2

    To make the bags, take two 50cm square sheets of foil, lay a same size square of baking paper over each one and fold in half. Scrunch up the sides to form an open pouch, brush the insides with a little oil.

  3. 3

    Heat the rest of the oil in a pan and fry the garlic for 1 minute on medium.

  4. 4

    Add tomatoes, wine oregano, chili, sugar, anchovies, capers and olives and simmer gently for 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until only just al dente.

  6. 6

    Drain, toss with the sauce, and divide between the 2 bags. Add the prawns and clams and fold and scrunch the tops to make a tight seal.

  7. 7

    Put them on a tray and bake for 15 minutes.

  8. 8

    To serve, tip the bag contents onto a plate and scatter with the parsley and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil.
