Ingredients

1 pack Qetoe Penne
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ small onion, finely diced
1 cup marinara sauce (sugar-free)
½ cup thickened cream
½ cup grated Parmesan
200g raw prawns, peeled and deveined
150g scallops, patted dry
Salt & pepper
¼ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
½ tsp dried oregano or Italian herbs

Directions

Sear Seafood: Season prawns and scallops lightly with salt. Heat olive oil in a large pan. Sear scallops for 1–2 mins per side until golden, then set aside. Sauté prawns until pink (2–3 mins). Remove both.
Aromatics: In the same pan, add garlic and onion. Cook until soft and fragrant.
Sauce Base: Pour in marinara and herbs. Simmer 3–5 minutes. Lower heat, then stir in cream and Parmesan until melted and creamy.
Combine: Fold in cooked Qetoe Penne, prawns, and scallops. Toss gently until coated in sauce. Let simmer 1–2 mins to bring everything together.
Serve: Finish with black pepper, chilli flakes (if using), and optional herbs or a squeeze of lemon.
