"This started out as a recipe by Phil Vickery from Ready Steady Cook on the BBC. I added a spare zucchini I had in the fridge and it tasted good."

ingredients

200 g mixed seafood (shelled mussels, peeled king prawns, squid rings etc...)
1 zucchini, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
40 g butter
3 scallions, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 pinch saffron, soaked in
1 tablespoon hot water
1 pinch fresh ground black pepper
250 g dry pasta, such as fusilli, cooked according to the packet instructions
2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese

directions

Add one tbsp of olive oil and half the butter to a large frying pan and very gently cook the sliced Zucchini for 3 or 4 minutes each side taking care that it doesn't burn, although a little light browning is good.
Meanwhile, put the rest of the oil and butter in a non-stick saucepan and gently cook the chopped Scallions for 2-3 minutes.
Next, add the chopped Garlic and cook for another minute (don't forget to turn the Zucchini when needed).
Add the Seafood, the freshly ground Black Pepper, and the Saffron, together with it's soaking liquid, and continue cooking for a further 2-3 minutes until the seafood is cooked through.
Stir in the hot, cooked, Pasta and mix well, turning the mixture with a wooden spoon to give the Pasta a good coating.
To serve, arrange the Zucchini on warmed serving dishes, carefully place the Seafood Pasta on top, and sprinkle over the grated Parmesan.
