Seafood Linguine
Chef Chris Kelly

La Mon Hotel & Country Club

Pasta

You will need:
– 100 grams of ‘00’ flour per whole egg

Place flour in bowl, add egg and gently fork the mixture until smooth.

Knead for a few minutes and then wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for 25 minutes.

Roll out and put through a pasta machine at the largest setting. Do this twice, then the next time decrease to a lower setting and be careful to dust with some ‘00’ flour to prevent it from sticking.

When thin (1-2mm), change to a linguine attachment and cut it carefully and then hang over the tube to dry out for a few minutes.

Seafood

You will need:
– 568ml of Lobster Sauce
– Various fish: Salmon, Prawns, Mussels & Cod

Gently cook the fish in a pan with some butter. Add the fish that will cook first, according to the size i.e. Salmon and Cod first, and then followed by smaller fish. Then add the lobster sauce to the pan.

Cook pasta in salted boiling water for 3 minutes and then lift out.

Add in the fish and linguine together and stir gently.

Serve in a bowl and garnish with tarragon or parsley.
