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.

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 30m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 pound medium-size shrimp, shelled and deveined
1/4 cup olive oil, plus oil for greasing the dish
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
1/3 pound sea scallops
1 cup finely chopped fresh red, ripe tomatoes or use canned crushed tomatoes
1 cup fresh or canned chicken broth or bottled clam broth
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons Cognac
4 littleneck clams
4 well-scrubbed mussels
1/4 pound lump crab meat
1/3 pound perciatelli, see note
1/3 pound mezza-lasagne, see note
1/3 pound fettuccine
10 small fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Cut the shrimp lengthwise in half. Cut each half crosswise. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet and add the shallots and garlic. Cook, stirring, about one minute. Add the shrimp and scallops and cook, stirring, about one minute. Add the tomatoes and broth and bring to the boil. Let simmer about one minute and add the parsley, oregano and Cognac.
  • Add the clams and mussels and cover closely. Cook until the clams and mussels open, about one and a half minutes. Add the crab meat, stir gently and remove from the heat.
  • Bring four quarts of water to the boil and add the perciatelli. Cook, stirring down with a fork, about one and a half minutes and add the mezza-lasagne and fettuccine. Continue cooking about six minutes.
  • Meanwhile, spread out on a flat surface a sheet of aluminum foil measuring about 17 by 30 inches. Fold the foil over itself to make a rectangle measuring 15 by 17 inches. Fold over the open edges to seal. Drain the pasta and place it in the foil bag. Pour the sauce with seafood into the bag. Scatter the basil leaves on top of the pasta and sauce. Fold the open end of the foil to seal it all around hermetically.
  • Lightly oil the bottom of a metal, flame-proof dish or baking sheet and place the pasta-filled foil bag on top. Turn the burner to high. Cook for about two minutes, until the bag puffs like a pillow.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut a long slit on one side of the bag. Divide the pasta and seafood among four heated dishes.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb fettuccine ((or favorite pasta))
2 Tbsp olive oil ((extra virgin))
1/2 Tbsp garlic ((finely minced or thinly sliced))
1 lb mussels ((scrubbed, beards removed))
1 lb steamer clams ((scrubbed))
1/3 cup dry white wine ((I like Pinot Grigio best, or Pinot Gris))
1/2 lb shrimp ((large shrimp, thawed, peeled, and deveined))
1/4 lb bay scallops
1/4 lb squid ((sliced tentacle rings and bodies))
32 oz arrabbiata sauce ((see recipe or use your favorite brand))

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until it reaches an al dente texture (firm to the bite). Drain, rinse under cool tap water, and set aside.
  • Heat a large, deep skillet with the olive oil over medium heat until the oil just begins to shimmer. Add the garlic and saute for 1 minute then stir in the mussels and clams until well coated.
  • Increase heat to medium-high then add the dry white wine and cover the pan to steam the mussels and clams. Cook with the lid on for about 2-3 minutes, or until the mussels and clams have opened.
  • Uncover the skillet, add the shrimp and toss with the seafood. Cover and continue to steam for an additional 2 minutes or until the shrimp begins curling up, turning pink and opaque.
  • Once more remove the lid and add the final portions of seafood (squid and bay scallops). Cover and cook until the squid tentacles curl up and the scallops are no longer transparent, or about 1 minute.
  • Pour in the arrabbiata sauce, stir to coat the seafood evenly, then simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes (uncovered). Add the pasta into the seafood sauce and toss until well coated. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
