INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE TOMATO SAUCE
1 For the Fish Balls: Cut the cod fillet into rough chunks and place into
the bowl of a food processor with the prawns. Blend to a coarse paste,
break in the egg, add some seasoning and whiz again until you have a smooth
mixture.
2 Scrape the mixture into a bowl and stir in the crabmeat, breadcrumbs,
basil and lemon zest. Shape into small balls and leave to chill in the
fridge while you make the sauce.
3 For the Tomato Sauce: Heat the olive oil and garlic in a pan. When
sizzling, add the onion and cook until softened. Add the tomatoes, vinegar,
thyme and bay leaves and simmer for 20 minutes.
4 Boil a pan of well-salted water. Drop the pasta into the boiling water
and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Pass the sauce through a conical
sieve into a shallow pan, pressing out the liquid using a small ladle.
5 Stir the fish balls into the sauce and leave to simmer for 4-5 minutes
until cooked through. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if
necessary.
6 To serve, drain the tagliatelle and divide between four bowls. Spoon the
fish balls and sauce on top and serve garnished with a little more shredded
basil and some finely grated parmesan cheese.
