Instructions
- Heat a large skillet or large cast iron pot on medium heat. Add olive oil and garlic. Stir garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the mussels and toss with a wooden spoon. Cook with the lid on for about 2 minutes (or until the mussels open).
- Add the shrimp to the pan with the mussels and give it a stir. Cover and cook for another minute or so. The key is not to overcook the seafood.
- Once all the mussels open and the shrimp are almost cooked, add the squid tentacles. Cook another minute or so until they curl up. Add the baby scallops and cook for about 1-2 minutes more.
- Warm up the sugo al pomodoro sauce in a saucepan. Pour the sauce over the seafood and toss gently. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes on low heat.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and reserve 1 cup pasta water. Add
- Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the seafood and toss to coat in the sauce. Let the sauce and pasta marry together in the pot for a few minutes. Add a little bit of the reserved pasta water, if needed. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Optional: red pepper flakes for garnish. Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot!
Notes
- Make sure you buy the freshest sea food and vegetables possible
- Purge the mussels for at least 2 hours before cooking
- Don’t overcook the seafood. These are delicate proteins and can overcook and turn rubbery very quickly!
