SEAFOOD FRA DIAVOLO WITH PASTA



Seafood Fra Diavolo With Pasta image

This is a recipe I found on AllRecipes. I've changed it a bit to suit my family's tastes. It is a WONDERFUL sauce that truly enhances the seafood you use in it. I choose to use primarily scallops and calamari rings with a bit of shrimp in it, however, you can probably add any seafood you like to it and still have it come out wonderful! Serve this one up with some fresh bread and you'll be in heaven!

CALAMARI FRA DIAVOLO OVER LINGUINE RECIPE BY TASTY



Calamari Fra Diavolo Over Linguine Recipe by Tasty image

In this classic Italian pasta dish, tender squid rings and tentacles simmer in a thick and spicy tomato sauce-fra diavolo means "brother devil" in Italian. Toss it with linguine, top with more parsley and red pepper flakes, and serve family style. We recommend using clam juice to enhance the seafood flavor, but chicken stock works too!

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
½ medium yellow onion, finely diced
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more as needed
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 ½ teaspoons red pepper flakes, plus more for garnish
¼ cup tomato paste
½ cup full bodied red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon
½ cup clam juice, or chicken broth
1 can whole peeled tomato, drained
1 lb calamari rings and tentacles, cleaned
¾ lb dried linguine
2 tablespoons lemon
½ cup fresh italian parsley, roughly chopped, divided

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil of medium-high heat.
  • While the water is boiling, make the sauce: In a separate large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and ½ teaspoon salt and sauté for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent. Add the garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes and sauté for 1 minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Add the tomato paste and mix until evenly combined with the aromatics. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomato paste has darkened and thickened. It is okay if some of the paste begins to stick to the bottom of the pot. Deglaze with the red wine and clam juice, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 4-6 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by half.
  • Add the whole peeled tomatoes and, using a potato masher, break up the tomatoes into bite-sized chunks. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
  • Add the calamari and stir to coat in the sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 25 minutes, until the calamari is very tender and the sauce has thickened. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt, plus more to taste.
  • When the calamari has 6-8 minutes cooking time left, drop the linguine into the boiling water and until just shy of al dente. Reserve ¼ cup (60 ml) of the pasta water.
  • Using tongs, transfer the linguine directly to the calamari sauce. Add the reserved pasta water and toss well to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the linguine is al dente and well coated in the sauce. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and half of the parsley.
  • Transfer the pasta to a large serving platter and garnish with remaining parsley and red pepper flakes.
  • Enjoy!

THE REALTOR'S SEAFOOD FRA DIAVOLO



The Realtor's Seafood Fra Diavolo image

Here's the spicy, tangy, classic Italian seafood dish done my way. You can make it as hot as you like by increasing the red pepper flakes or adding hot sauce. You can use any pasta you like for this. I use thin spaghetti. If your family are big eaters like us, this will only serve 4 people. If they are normal eaters, it will serve up to 8 people.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced green pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic (add more if you want)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes (I like the roasted garlic and onion ones)
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1 lb thin spaghetti
1 lb large shrimp, cleaned
1 lb lump crabmeat, picked over

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil, add onion, green pepper and garlic. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally unitl starting to soften. Add tomatoes with their juice, tomato sauce, wine, basil, and red pepper flakes. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions. Never add oil to the water or the sauce won't stick to the pasta later.
  • When the pasta is just about done, add the shrimp to the sauce mixture and cook about 3-4 minutes until just oink.
  • Drain pasta and spoon sauce over pasta. Sprinkle the crabmeat over top being careful not to break up the lumps.
  • NOTE- you can use the crabmeat or switch it out and substitute scallops, clams, oysters, calamari or any combination of seafood you like best. Our favorites are crabmeat and/or scallops with the shrimp.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned or frozen crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use canned or frozen crab meat, but make sure to rinse it well before using.
  • Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is very delicate and cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it tough and rubbery. Cook the crab meat just until it is heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a good quality pasta. The pasta is the foundation of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality pasta. Look for a pasta that is made with durum wheat semolina and has a slightly rough texture. This will help the sauce cling to the pasta.
  • Make sure the sauce is flavorful. The sauce is what really makes this dish special. Use a combination of fresh herbs, spices, and tomatoes to create a flavorful sauce that will complement the crab meat.
  • Serve the pasta immediately. Pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will prevent the pasta from becoming soggy and the sauce from congealing.

Conclusion:

Pasta with crabmeat fra diavolo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of fresh crab meat, flavorful sauce, and al dente pasta is sure to please everyone at the table.
