1 - Crab and Saffron Linguine

Honestly no recipe that sounds this fancy has any business being this simple haha! But it is! This is all about the delicate flavour of the crab and a gorgeous saffron linguine. And yes that fancy presentation too (I'll explain how to do that too)!

2 - Tomato and Clam Spaghetti

I love clams - as the saying go "Happy as a clam" and that's me when I eat clams. Clams or pipis cook so quickly and they tell you when they're ready too when they open!

3 - Garlic Shrimp Spaghetti

Honestly is there any better combo than garlic + butter? And then when you combine it with shrimp or prawns you have a delectably moreish dish. The only thing you need is fresh bread to mop up any of that garlic butter!

4 - Creamy Salmon Spaghetti

This is a bit retro but Mr NQN LOVES creamy spaghetti. He can eat an alarming amount of it. And this one is super easy and uses cold smoked salmon that stays that lovely, luscious texture.

5 - Tomato and Crab Spaghetti

I love crab, tomatoes and spaghetti and I make this 15 minute pasta more often than I will care to admit during summer! I also add my secret weapon that I always keep in the fridge: XO sauce! It's like having a superpower honestly ;)

So tell me Dear Reader, which pasta would be your first choice?
