Once the flames have subsided add the white wine and reduce for five minutes. Now add the tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook over a medium-low heat for 10 minutes.

Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil, add the pasta and cook as per instructions on the packet.

Once the sauce has thickened add the fish, followed by the prawns and mussels. Cook this for 5 minutes or until the mussels start to open.  Now add the cream and stir through.
