Quick and Easy Seafood Pasta Bake

Lauraine Jacobs invited me to the NZ Guild of Food Writers May Day Market in Parnell It was an interesting experience, lots of yummy food and wine tasting, plus suppliers were showing off their new products.
Greig Buckley, had a stall promoting his business, Kai Artisan Foods 
Go and check out the website here

We got a Goodie Bag and amongst the Goodies were
Sealord Frozen Hoki Filets And a bottle of Heinz Seriously Good Alfredo Sauce. 
I don't normally promote products, but I think these two are worth keeping in your freezer and pantry for one of those days, when you just don't want to have to go out, and buy ingredients.

Hoki is what you would call a cheap and cheerful fish.
Not something I would pan fry and serve with lemon,
Nevertheless it’s good for Fish Pie, Fish Cakes and I turned it into this Pasta Bake.
To boost it, I used some prawns from the freezer.
I don’t normally use sauces in a jar.
But this Alfredo was good, not excellent, but a very good standby for the pantry.
The Frozen Hoki, once again handy for a quick meal.
If you don't live in NZ I'm sure you will have replacements

We loved this Pasta Bake, it was really tasty and so simple

I always enjoy the crispy cheesy topping.
Excellent pairing with the fish and pasta, nice crisp white wine on the side

This will feed 3 people, 4 for lunch with a salad and some bread

Pre-heat oven to 180C
You will need
2 cups penne, cooked to manufacturers instructions

20 frozen prawns, thawed 3 tablespoons

Now to assemble, 
See, so so simple

Toss the marinated prawns and fish in lemon juice 
Then add the pasta and the Pasta Sauce

Pop into a greased gratin dish or something similar
Mix the cheese, breadcrumbs, oil and sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Bake 180 30 –35 minutes, till topping golden and the sauce is bubbling

Serve while hot. Yum
Actually a sprinkling of fresh parsley over the top would make it really pretty.
Next time perhaps
