Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 medium onion
- 400 grams canned crushed tomatoes
- 120 milliliters dry white wine
- 200 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 200 grams scallops
- 500 grams mussels, cleaned
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 liters water
- 2 teaspoons salt (for boiling pasta)
Instructions
Bring 2 liters of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 2 teaspoons of salt and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
While the spaghetti cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Finely chop the garlic and onion. Add the garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
Add the canned crushed tomatoes, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes.
Rinse the seafood to ensure it is clean. Add the mussels to the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the mussels open (discard any that do not).
Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they turn opaque and are cooked through.
If the sauce is too thick, add the reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the sauce. Let it cook together for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your Spaghetti with Seafood Sauce!
