Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1x onion, finely chopped.
- 200g cherry vine tomatos, halved
- 3 cloves garlic, grated
- Salt
- 150ml white wine
- 1x tin San Marzano tomatoes
- 2x pinch of semi dried basil
- 1kg mussels
- 300g monkfish
- 400g linguine
- Parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Preheat an oven to 200C. Add 2 tbsp of olive oil to an ovenproof pan. Fry off the onion over a medium heat until translucent, then add the garlic and tomatoes. Fry off for a further 2 minutes until the tomatoes have started to break down, season with a pinch of salt, then place the dish in the oven for 30 minutes, stiring every 10.
- Remove from the oven, add your white wine and bubble away on the hob for 2 minutes or until the alcohol has burnt out. Add your tinned tomatoes and herbs and bubble away for a further 10 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of salted water up to boil, then drop in your pasta, cooking till very al dente. Remove and reserve a mug of pasta water. Meanwhile, chop your monkfish into small 1-2cm pieces.
- Drop your monkfish and mussels into the tomato sauce and place a lid over for 4 minutes. Remove the lid, add your pasta and some pasta water to loosen it up and stir it all together. Once the mussels have fully opened, serve it all up on a large serving plate, garnish with fresh parsley and tuck in.
