Vongole , Mussels & King Prawns


Hi Ladies, it's been a while i know. But i was really busy and i was abroad too :).

This is one of my favorite meals.... MMMMMMMMMM smells like summer.

So for 2 persons you will need the following

250 Grams of Spaghetti

10 good sized King Prawns

10 Mussels

and 500 Grams of Vongole.

Some Cherry Tomatoes or normal tomatoes will do just fine

1 large Onion

4 Cloves of Garlic

1 Fish Cube

2 Glasses of white wine

Butter, parsley, & some olive oil  




PS: the mussels are the black ones the White ones are the vongole, You can even buy a jar of vongole without the Shells it's cheaper. 


King Prawns


Chop the tomatoes the onion and the garlic.

In a medium sized pan , melt some butter together with some olive oil. Put half the onion and half the cloves in with the butter . Let them cook for a little while. Don't let them turn black. It wont look nice in your plate later on :(.

MMMMMMMM it already smells great.

Boil some water for the pasta to use later.


Now add the vongole and the mussels in with the butter and onion.

Melt the cube in some boiling water pour half of it in this pan and keep the other half aside do the same with the glass of wine.

Add half your chopped tomatoes and some parsley on top of every thing and let it simmer for around 25/30 mins.. If the sauce reduces pour in some more wine. (But i should be fine)

 Its time to put the pasta in the boiling water.



The King prawns will only need like 8 mins to bee cooked, So once you put the pasta in the boiling water, in another pan melt the butter and put all the remaining ingredients in the pan. 
Butter, olive oil, onion, garlic, tomatoes, fish cube and wine.

Place the King Prawns one buy one not on on top of each other , so u will need a big pan for this.





When the pasta is ready just switch off the king prawns burner. 

Put you pasta in the colander so all the water will drain, Put it back in a pan and just add the sauce that is left in the pan of the vongole and mussels.

Once that is ready just place the spaghetti in your plate vongole & mussels on top and King Prawns on the side.

And simply Enjoy :)

  2. Pippies is the name for them in Australia for sure, or rather, Pippies are one type of little clams (Vongole is the Italian word for clams).

    This looks like a delicious recipe, but personally i prefer it with more garlic and no onions. The italians aren't big on onions, and when i didn't have onions one day, and just used lots of garlic, it turned out 100 times better :) enjoy!
