Cuisine Italian

Equipment

  • Equipment Needed: Large pot, frying pan, colander, wooden spoon, knife, and chopping board

Ingredients
  

  • For the Pasta
  • 400 g 14 oz spaghetti or linguine
  • Salt for pasta water
  • For the Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 400 g 14 oz canned diced tomatoes (or fresh if in season)
  • 250 g 9 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 250 g 9 oz calamari, sliced into rings
  • 250 g 9 oz mussels or clams, cleaned
  • ½ cup white wine optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Cook the Pasta
  • Boil Water: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add Pasta: Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente (usually around 8-10 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Drain: Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Seafood Sauce
  • Sauté Aromatics: In a large frying pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  • Add Tomatoes: Stir in the canned diced tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  • Incorporate Seafood: Add the shrimp, calamari, and mussels to the sauce. If using, pour in the white wine. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the mussels open and the shrimp turns pink. Discard any mussels that remain closed.
  • Combine with Pasta: Add the drained pasta to the seafood sauce, tossing everything together. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Step 3: Serve
  • Plate the Dish: Divide the pasta into serving bowls.
  • Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for added brightness.
  • Variations
  • Vegetarian Option: Substitute seafood with sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, and bell peppers for a delicious vegetarian twist.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free pasta for those with gluten sensitivities.
  • Spicy Kick: Increase the amount of red pepper flakes for a spicier version or add a splash of hot sauce.
