Directions
Serves 6
- Preheat the oven to 400°.
- Place the ¼ cup olive oil on a plate. Dip on side of each baguette slice in the oil & place onto a sheet tray. Season with salt & pepper; place into the oven for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven & let cool slightly. Rub the garlic cloves over the golden side of the toasts.
- Season the prawns & fish with salt & pepper & pick through the mussels (to get rid of the “bad” ones).
- Heat a 6qt chef's pan on med-high to high heat. Sauté the garlic, onions & fennel; sauté for about 5-6 minutes until the onions are translucent. Add in the wine, tomatoes, marjoram & thyme; bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
- Cook the pasta in salted boiling water in an 8qt straining stockpot until just done.
- Stir in the seafood & cover with the lid; continue to simmer for about 6-10 minutes until the mussels have opened & the prawns & fish are just about done.
- Drain the past & stir into the sauce. Season with salt & pepper, garnish with parsley & serve with garlic toasts.
