Seafood Pasta
Description
The recipe starts by cooking spaghetti according to package directions and setting it aside. A tomato sauce is prepared by blending whole peeled tomatoes, enhanced with garlic sautéed in olive oil. The seafood mix of shrimp, Manila clams, and scallops is cooked in this aromatic base, along with chopped basil, salt, and a touch of sugar to balance acidity.
The combination results in a sauce that is savory with hints of sweetness and fresh herbal notes from the basil. The seafood cooks until just done, maintaining a tender texture that complements the al dente spaghetti. Mixing the pasta gently into the skillet ensures the noodles are thoroughly coated with the sauce and seafood.
This pasta dish serves as a satisfying main course, bringing together a seafood medley in a bright tomato sauce with fresh herbs. It can be garnished with chopped Italian parsley to add freshness and color to the plate.
