Spaghetti Al Cartoccio - (Spag Cooked in a Bag) image

This sounds so good! Posting here to keep safe until I have some good seafood on hand. From Terry Durack, who also suggests turning it Asian by subbing hokkien or udon noodles for the spag, and instead of the tomato sauce a quick stir fry of garlic, chili and ginger, with a dash each of fish sauce, white wine and sweet chili. Mix with the seafood, put in the bag and bake 15 mins. So there's 2 recipes : )

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 35m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
400 g canned chopped tomatoes
50 ml white wine
1 pinch dried oregano
1 pinch dried chili
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 anchovy fillets, chopped
1 tablespoon capers packed in salt, rinsed
10 small black olives
6 -8 prawns, medium green
220 g dried spaghetti
300 g clams, rinsed and in their shells (vongole)
1 tablespoon Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200°C.
  • To make the bags, take two 50cm square sheets of foil, lay a same size square of baking paper over each one and fold in half. Scrunch up the sides to form an open pouch, brush the insides with a little oil.
  • Heat the rest of the oil in a pan and fry the garlic for 1 minute on medium.
  • Add tomatoes, wine oregano, chili, sugar, anchovies, capers and olives and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
  • Cook the pasta in plenty of salted water until only just al dente.
  • Drain, toss with the sauce, and divide between the 2 bags. Add the prawns and clams and fold and scrunch the tops to make a tight seal.
  • Put them on a tray and bake for 15 minutes.
  • To serve, tip the bag contents onto a plate and scatter with the parsley and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my spaghetti came out mushy. I think I may have cooked it for too long.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I still enjoyed this dish. The shrimp and mussels were cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful.

I love that this recipe uses simple, everyday ingredients. I always have spaghetti, olive oil, and garlic on hand.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The spaghetti cooks in the sauce, so there's no need to boil a separate pot of water.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a hit with my family! The spaghetti came out perfectly al dente and the sauce was flavorful and delicious.
