Receipe of the Week: Spaghetti Marinara

Spaghetti Marinara was one of the specials of day. The king prawns were huge and juicy! Nice sprinkling of fresh herbs and the aroma from the seafood was divine. Shrimp and squid cooked gently in olive oil and garlic and tossed with spaghetti noodles.

I’m pasta and a seafood lover. Spaghetti marinara, I really like this food. In fact I like it more than the sweet Filipino spaghetti. Whenever we eat out on a spaghetti specialty restaurant I would always take spaghetti marinara and hubby choose Spaghetti with meatballs. Now I am sharing my recipe which is quite simple.
