Prawn & Scallop Alfredo
King prawn and scallop Alfredo with homemade tagliatelle in a cream, butter and parmesan sauce with a breadcrumb and herb topping.
Maddie is a tattoo artist who has run her own studio in Southampton for seven years and dreams of one day having her own food truck. She is a single mum with a three-year-old.
Maddie: "My signature dish is based on the first dish I ever made that people requested I make again. Goes back to when I was 13. So it's something I cook with a lot of love."
Maddie: "It's a cream-based sauce with parmesan and butter, which sums me up as a person. Cream, butter, and cheese. That's who I am."
Anna: "Pan-fried prawns and scallops. Two jewels from the sea. I don't want her to cook them for too long, then they become rubbery."
Anna: "With Maddie's Alfredo sauce, if it has too much cream, the whole dish will feel heavy and claggy."
Anna: "Your pasta is lovely and thin, and it's perfectly cooked. Your prawns and your scallops are just cooked. You've managed to keep your sauce light and not claggy. Really, really delicious."
Grace: "The thing I love most about this is your commitment to garlic in the Alfredo sauce. The garlic is soft, yielding. It's not bitter. I really like this."
Maddie won an apron.
