Cut the tomatoes into large cubes, cut the red mullet fillet into pieces, slice the squid, cook the mussels and clams until they open, shell the smaller prawns - now we can make the sauce. Lightly fry the king prawns in a pan with some oil. Add a dash of white wine and let it reduce. Once cooked, remove the prawns from the pan, shell them and set the pulp aside. Finely chop the garlic, parsley and anchovies together, and fry in a little oil. Then add the red mullet and squid and cook in the same pan. Immediately add the cherry tomatoes and continue cooking. Add a pinch of sugar and a little salt. Add the cooking liquid from the mussels and clams. Once the sauce is ready, add the prawns – be careful not to overcook. Finally add the large prawns and all the mussels and clams. Warm everything through with the paccheri pasta in the pan.
