I should probably call this recipe “I wanted to make creamy alfredo Pasta but ended up with this delicious dish”. The concept is really: simple make delicious food out of simple ingredients. I always found myself numerous times in the past saying that I got nothing to eat even though I had stuffs in the fridge, the pantry and the freezer. The secret is to notice which spices go well together for your taste, because believe me it is not all the tastes that I like. I still have a difficult time with sweet main courses. I have been raised liking a particular taste and trying new items feels always different. When I find a recipe I try to make it a way I would love. I went a little out of context for this recipe but I hope it was helpful.
For this recipe I had on hand a pack of fusilli and I decided to use it with some left over seafood I had in the freezer. The only ingredient I will add next time is white wine, and I will be perfect!!!!
Ingredients for 2
8 oz of fusilli
1 lbs of mixed seafood (Prawn & Octopus)
4 tbsp Butter
1 small onion
5 garlic cloves
1 cup of milk
4 tbsp flour
2 oz cheese (optional)
Olive oil
Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
1/4 tsp Paprika
1/4 tsp Thym
1/4 Bunch of Parsley
Preparation
*Boil the fusilli according to the package with 1/4 tsp of salt and 1 tbsp of butter and drain
*Chop the onion, garlic, parsley and reserve.
*Into a pan put 4 tbsp of olive oil or any other oil.
*Cook your seafood with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp paprika and 1/4 tsp thym..

*Add the remaining 3 tbsp of butter in the same pan with 1 tbsp of olive oil.
*Cook the diced onion and garlic until brown.
*Reduce the heat on low and add the cup of milk.
