• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Onion, finely chopped - 1 small (about 100 grams)
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Red bell pepper, diced - 1 medium (about 150 grams)
• Tomato, diced - 1 medium (about 150 grams)

• Saffron threads - a pinch
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Stir in the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables soften.
3. Add the diced tomato and cook for another 3 minutes until it breaks down slightly.
4. Stir in the saffron threads and paprika, mixing well to combine with the vegetables.
5. Add the gluten-free pasta to the skillet, followed by the fish stock. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
6. Cook the pasta for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.
7. Add the seafood mix to the skillet, stirring gently to combine. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through.
8. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let it rest for 2 minutes.
9. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and lemon wedges on the side.
