Salmon and prawn tagliatelle
From Cookipedia
I saw this recipe on The Big Breakfast (Channel 4), about 20 years ago; and have been making variations of it ever since.
It's the simplest recipe I know - I dare you to get this one wrong!
There is an even simpler version here
This is especially nice if made with homemade pasta

Serving suggestions
Serve hot, maybe with a salad if you need to stretch it to four people. There is enough here for two gluttons though!
