Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g spaghetti
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.5 tsp red chili flakes
- 120 ml white wine
- 500 g mixed seafood (clams, mussels, shrimp, squid)
- 200 g cherry tomatoes
- 20 g parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 piece lemon
Instructions
Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until it's al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Mince the garlic and add it to the pan along with the red chili flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Add the white wine to the pan and allow it to simmer for about 2 minutes, reducing slightly.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the mixed seafood to the pan. Stir well and cover the pan with a lid. Let the seafood cook for about 5-6 minutes until the clams and mussels open, and the shrimp turn pink. Discard any shellfish that do not open.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the pan along with the cooked spaghetti. Toss everything together gently to combine.
Add a little reserved pasta water if the sauce needs more liquid. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Chop the parsley finely and add it to the pan, tossing it through the spaghetti and seafood mixture.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the dish and give it a final toss.
Serve immediately, garnishing with additional parsley if desired.
