After the pasta has been cooking for 10 minutes test it and when it is nearly to your liking (but definitely do not undercook for this dish), stir the salmon and prawns through the sauce and vegetables and turn up the heat slightly until everything is warm, drain and add the pasta when al dente and gently mix in. Serve immediately on warm plates. Save any remaining serving to refrigerate and eat cold.
