Preparation

Step 1

1 For pasta dough, sift flour and semolina onto a work surface, add 1 tsp fine sea salt, then form a well in the centre. Add eggs and mix to form a dough, knead until smooth and elastic (5-7 minutes), wrap in plastic wrap and set aside to rest (30-40 minutes).
2 Divide dough into four, then, working with one piece at a time, feed through a pasta machine, feeding and folding and reducing settings notch by notch until pasta is 2mm thick. Repeat with remaining dough, then feed pasta through the smallest cutter attachment. Place on a tray, dust with semolina and set aside.
3 Heat 50ml oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add prawns and cook, turning occasionally, until starting to colour (1 minute). Add barramundi and cook, turning once, until starting to colour (1-2 minutes). Add garlic and chilli and sauté until fragrant (2-3 minutes), then deglaze pan with wine, add capers, season to taste and keep warm.
4 Meanwhile, cook pasta in boiling salted water until al dente (2-3 minutes). Add to frying pan with parsley, stir though remaining oil, season to taste and serve hot.
