Seafood pasta
a perfect meal for any occasion, whether it's a casual dinner or a more festive gathering
Ingredients:
- 12 oz (340 g) linguine or spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste for spiciness)
- 1/2 cup white wine (optional, can substitute with broth)
- 1 cup seafood broth (or chicken broth)
- 1 pound mixed seafood (such as shrimp, scallops, and squid rings)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
- Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in the white wine (if using) and let it simmer until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
- Add the seafood broth and bring to a simmer.
- Add the mixed seafood to the skillet. Cook until the seafood is just done and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to overcook.
- Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they are just starting to soften, about 2 minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the seafood and toss to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to loosen it.
- Squeeze the lemon juice over the pasta, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the pasta to serving plates. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
