Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ tablespoons crushed red pepper
1 ½ cups Chardonnay white wine
1 cup clam juice
6 cups marinara sauce
8 leaves fresh basil, coarsely chopped
1 pinch salt
1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
⅓ pound scallops
3 whole lobster tails, shelled, cleaned, and chopped
24 medium mussels mussels, cleaned and debearded
24 medium (blank)s littleneck clams, scrubbed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Pour olive oil into a large pan over medium heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cook until fragrant, 30 to 40 seconds. Pour in white wine and increase heat to medium-high. Let wine reduce by half, about 8 minutes. Add clam juice and reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in marinara, basil, and salt. Let simmer to let flavors marry, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Add shrimp, scallops, lobster, mussels, and clams to the sauce and cook until clams and mussels open, scallops are opaque, shrimp is pink, and lobster is red on the outside and opaque on the inside, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Toss linguine in sauce until it's thick enough to coat the noodles (it will still be a relatively thin sauce), about 3 minutes.
  • Plate noodles and load up with seafood and sauce. Garnish with parsley, and serve immediately with Parmesan cheese.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ½ (16 ounce) packages linguine pasta
1 cup olive oil, or as needed
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 (2 ounce) can anchovy fillets packed in olive oil, drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 ½ pounds clams in shell, scrubbed
⅓ pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left on
⅓ pound bay scallops
½ pound squid - tentacles and tubes, cleaned and cut into rings
salt to taste
ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 lemon, cut into wedges
1 tablespoon grated Manchego cheese
1 tablespoon julienned fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the linguine, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Heat a large skillet covered with about 1/4-inch of olive oil over low heat. Add garlic, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and anchovies; cook and stir until the anchovies melt into the oil, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes; increase the heat to medium, and bring to a simmer. Stir in the clams. Once they begin to open, arrange the shrimp in a single layer and allow to simmer. Flip the shrimp when they become pink on one side, about 2 minutes, then drop in the scallops and squid. Continue cooking until the shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 2 more minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning.
  • Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce. Garnish with a lemon wedge, Manchego cheese, and basil before serving.

Time 30m

Yield 2 BIG servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 pound angel hair pasta
Salt, for pasta water
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil -- 2 turns of the pan
2 shallots, chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed or finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes -- eyeball it
1/2 cup dry white wine, eyeball it
1 (15-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
Salt and black pepper
1 pound small fresh clams, ask for them scrubbed
1 pound mussels, scrubbed
10 to 12 large shrimp, deveined -- ask for easy peels at the fish counter, tails removed
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls
20 fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips or torn
Crusty bread, warmed

Steps:

  • Place a large pot of water on to boil for pasta. When it boils, add salt and pasta and cook angel hair to al dente.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, saute shallots and garlic with crushed pepper 2 or 3 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Add wine and reduce 1 minute. Raise the heat a bit. Add crushed tomatoes and bring sauce to a bubble. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Add clams and mussels and cover the pan. Steam until shells open, about 5 minutes. Remove any unopened shells. Add shrimp to sauce and cook until just firm, 3 minutes.
  • Add parsley and basil to the sauce and shake the pan to incorporate it. Adjust seasonings, to taste.
  • Combine drained pasta with a few ladles of sauce and pile pasta into shallow platters or bowls. Top with arranged mixed seafood and sauce. Serve with warm, crusty bread for dipping.

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better your pizza will taste. If you can, buy your seafood from a local fish market or seafood counter.
  • Cook the seafood properly: Seafood should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked seafood will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a variety of seafood: Don't just use one type of seafood on your pizza. A variety of seafood will give your pizza more flavor and texture.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is an important part of any pizza. Be sure to use a sauce that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is another important part of any pizza. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
  • Don't overload the pizza: Too many toppings will make your pizza soggy. Be sure to use a moderate amount of toppings.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature: The pizza should be baked at a high temperature so that the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Frutti di mare pizza is a delicious and flavorful pizza that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. By following the tips above, you can make a frutti di mare pizza that is sure to impress your friends and family.
