Hello Hiveans! I hope everyone is happy, healthy and in peace wherever you are. I am excited to cook this week's Pasta Challenge and of course to cook my family favorite the Seafood Pasta. When I say seafood, so you can pretty much make it with whatever shellfish you like. I chose some baby clams, mussels, squid and shrimp. This fancy-looking dinner in a thick red tomato sauce is not only making you forget your diet as it is very tasty, but it is also one of the easiest to make.
The real secret is to not overcook the seafood because nobody likes rubbery shrimp or squid.
Serving Plate of Seafood Spaghetti with a Mix of Seafood: Clams, Mussels, Shrimp and Calamari in a thick red tomato sauce.
Ingredients
Clams & mussels (mixed) cleaned well
Shrimps peeled and leave the tail
Calamari
Olive oil
2 cloves garlic
Red pepper flakes
Lemon for serving
Italian herbs
Spaghetti
Tomato Sauce
Chili Flakes
Green Chilis
Coriander Leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
Grated Parmesan
METHODS
Prepare your spaghetti. Boiled until al dente. Drained and set aside.
Wash and prepare all your seafood ingredients.
Heat oil in a pot, then add mussels and clams. Mix well, toss them around and cover with a lid. Cook for about a minute or so until the shells start to open.
Once the shells have cooked, remove them from fire and drain. Set aside the soup that we will use later.
Heat oil in a pan and quickly sauté 2 cloves garlic, about 20 seconds. Stir quickly making sure not to burn the garlic.
Add your calamari, mix well and leave to cook for 1 minute.
Add cherry tomatoes and leave to cook for 1 minute, remove from oil.
Add the tomato sauce to the remaining oil and leave to boil for 1 minute.
Add back the calamari and cherry tomatoes into the pot.
Add the shrimps and mix well.
Add the Italian herbs, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
For that spiciness, add green chilis and mix well.
Add the cooked spaghetti pasta to the pot with the seafood and toss to coat in the sauce. Add the reserved seafood soup and mix well.
Transfer your seafood spaghetti to a serving platter, and sprinkle with the coriander leaves, chilli flakes and grated parmesan cheese. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Wala! Seafood Spaghetti, so yummy!
And that concludes my presentation for:
That's all for now, wishing you a beautiful day ~ Life is Beautiful.
