If you have a fishmonger you can trust, a top-quality marinara mix is nothing to turn your nose up at. Rather than fish that's a bit old or difficult to sell, you will often get excellent fresh seafood at a bargain price.

Ingredients

  • 500g dried spaghetti

  • ½ cup olive oil

  • ½ onion, finely diced 

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 cups mixed cherry tomatoes, halved

  • ¼ cup white wine

  • 500g good-quality marinara mix

  • a dash of fish sauce (optional)

  • ¼ cup finely shredded parsley

Method

  1. 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil for the pasta. 

    2. Place a very large frypan over medium heat and add the oil and onion. Cook for about 5 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes. (At this point you can add the pasta to the water, as it will take about 10 minutes to cook.) Add the tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, then add the white wine, marinara mix, and fish sauce (if using). Bring to a simmer and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the seafood is nearly cooked through. Drain the pasta and transfer to the frying pan with a little of the pasta water. Toss to combine, then stir through the parsley and serve.
