Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Spaghetti
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 300 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 150 milliliters Dry white wine
- 200 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 200 grams Mussels, cleaned
- 200 grams Clams, cleaned
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Finely chop the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet. Sauté the garlic until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.
Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the shrimp, mussels, and clams to the skillet. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes until the mussels and clams open and the shrimp turn pink. Discard any mussels or clams that do not open.
Sprinkle in the red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine the seafood and sauce.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing well to coat with the sauce and seafood. If needed, add some reserved pasta cooking water to achieve the desired consistency.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the pasta, and toss again to distribute evenly.
Serve hot, garnishing with extra parsley if desired.
