Girne Usulü Deniz Mahsullü Fırın Makarna – Cypriot Baked Seafood Pasta Recipe

Cook the bucatini pasta in plenty of salted water for 8-9 minutes until al dente, then drain.

In a frying pan, sauté the peeled prawns and squid rings with the olive oil and crushed garlic for 3 minutes, then take them off the heat.

Chef's tip: Do not overcook the seafood: it will cook further in the oven, so it must not lose its juices.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, the sautéed seafood, two thirds of the grated halloumi, the dried mint and the beaten eggs.

Spread the pasta evenly in a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining grated halloumi over the top and bake in a 190°C oven for 35 minutes, until golden on top.
