Notes

  • Tips and Tricks 
  • Wine Recommendations for Frutti Di Mare
  • Although red sauce pasta dishes are traditionally served with red wine, we actually prefer enjoying this dish with a nice crisp pinot grigio. The fruit forward flavor of pinot grigio goes really well with the variety of seafood in the dish.
  • We also enjoy serving our frutti di mare with a refreshing and crisp rosé which also goes well with the shellfish and doesn't combat the heavy garlic flavors.
  • Don't add the seafood to the pan all at once. You'll notice we add the seafood in stages in our recipe. We do this because each type of seafood cooked up differently, so to prevent them from overcooking we add them according to how quickly they cook up.
  • Don't overdo it on the wine. Some of the seafood we use (like mussels and scallops) release a lot of liquid once they cook up, so you want to add just enough wine in the beginning to deglaze the pan and help the mussels steam and open up. If you add too much wine, the alcohol won't be able to cook off and the sauce in the end will be too thin and unable to coat the overall dish well.
