Seafood and Pasta Recipes

Pasta and Seafood or “Pasta e Frutti di mare” as they probably say in Italy, is a fusion of the finest export of the Italian culture (besides the odd Ferrari) partnered with some of the heartiest seafood that gets landed into our picturesque Cornish harbours daily. The enriched flavours of our locally sourced Mussels from Tim and Luke of Rock Shellfish partnered with some delicious pasta, for example, could give you a warm, filling bowl of Spaghetti con le Cozze which is one of the stunning recipes we have highlighted for you below. Also in this blog, you will find a link to an excellent Lobster Spaghetti dish by one of our favourite chefs Davide De Giovanni - Head Chef of Gordan Ramsay's Union Street Cafe!

It was Naples who first discovered the great taste of a Seafood and Pasta combination as a means to ensure that people were being well fed, distributed to the poorer folk as a street-food centuries ago. Seafood was more regularly available in the local tide and developments in hydraulic pasta presses meant that the food more commonly prepared for special occasions was served up as fast-food for the many Italians who moved into the city to escape the famine. You learn something new every day.
