A winner for dinner

Tonight for dinner I made Seafood Marinara with fettucine. Oh my, it turned out very well so I thought I'd share the recipe.

Ingredients:
Red (Spanish) onion, finely chopped
Garlic, 2 or 3 cloves
Anchovies 4
1/2 cup white wine (or water if you prefer)
1Tbsp tomato paste
Tin of tomatoes, crushed
100grams of marinara mix per person
8 kalamata olives
Greens (I used baby spinach and kale)
Lemon (add some zest to meal or simply squeeze some lemon to taste over food)
Method.

1. Add onion and garlic to pan with chopped anchovies and cook until soft and onion is going clear.
2. Add wine, tomato paste and tinned tomato and cook until reduced slightly.
3. Add marinara mix and simmer until cooked (time depends on thickness of fish etc, usually about 3-4 mins)
4. Add chopped olives and greens. Turn off heat and stir through. Allow to sit while serving up pasta or rice. This allows your greens time to wilt without becoming mush.
5. Eat and enjoy. You could top with fresh herbs like parsley and basil but I didn't tonight and it was still beautiful.
I served this with fettucine tonight but rice, quinoa, noodles and the like would be just as successful. J has been away on a scouts canoeing camp so unfortunately there are no leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Hungry boy.
