    2 Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add garlic and seafood mix and cook for 3–4 minutes or until seafood is hot. Transfer mix to a plate. Add tomatoes to pan and cook for 3–4 minutes or until tomatoes start to blister.

    3 Transfer tomatoes to pasta. Add seafood, lemon juice and courgette noodles, tossing well to combine. Add chilli, if using. Cook for 1–2 minutes or until hot. Divide among serving bowls and serve garnished with parsley.

    HFG tip

    For best results, defrost the seafood marinara mix gradually by placing what you need in a bowl, then thawing in the fridge overnight.
