Monica Galetti's Seafood pasta with light curry sauce


I made this dish from Monica's Kitchen last night and it proved to be  wonderful.
You can vary the seafood according to what is available so I used tiger prawns, scallops, salmon fillet and Northland cockles.

This from my review back in January when I first purchased the book:

About the author:
Monica Galetti (born in Samoa) is Senior Sous Chef at 2-star Michelin restaurant Le Gavroche in London and is best known for co-presenting and judging BBC Two’s MasterChef: The Professionals, along with Gregg Wallace and Michel Roux Jr. The restaurant’s name comes from the characterGavroche in Victor Hugo’s – Les Misérables.

Galetti is married to David Galetti, who is the Head Sommelier at Le Gavroche in London. They also have one daughter together, Anais Emily.

 Galetti trained as a chef in New Zealand. She moved across the world for the chance to work with Michel Roux Jr. at Le Gavroche.

Galetti started as a Commis Chef in early 1999, and since then she has worked her way up through the kitchen ranks to her current role as Sous Chef to Michel Roux Jr. She was the first woman to ever cook on Meat and Fish dishes in Le Gavroche, before setting up Le Gavroche des Tropiques in Mauritius.
In 2009, Michel Roux Jr. took on the judging role for MasterChef UK: The Professional’s – for its second series. Galetti assisted on the show where her job was to weed out contestants deemed not good enough to cook for her boss, Michel. Since appearing on the show, she has become something of a sensation. She’s fierce, but fair. That’s what makes her a favourite to her many fans.
