How to Make Italian Seafood Pasta
- Prepare Ingredients: Rinse your seafood thoroughly and pat it dry. Chop the garlic and halve the cherry tomatoes to enhance the flavor profile.
- Cook Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water and add your choice of spaghetti or linguine. Cook until al dente, typically 8-10 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
- Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Toss in halved cherry tomatoes and blister them until juicy.
- Add Seafood: Stir in shrimp, scallops, and clams. Pour in white wine, sprinkle red pepper flakes, and cover the skillet. Steam until clams open, about 5 minutes.
- Combine: Gently toss the cooked pasta with the seafood mixture. Use reserved pasta water to achieve the desired sauce consistency.
- Serve: Plate the seafood pasta and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with crusty bread for an authentic touch.
