Steps:
- Cook pasta according to package instructions, drain reserving a little water and cover.
- In large skillet, heat two tablespoons olive oil to saute the mushrooms, when those are almost ready add the garlic, being careful not to burn. Remove the mushrooms and set aside.
- In the same skillet bring half-and-half to a boil. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until reduced by about one-fourth. Stir in shrimp, clams, crab meat, butter, black pepper and red pepper flakes.
- Cook, stirring until shrimp is done about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms back in and stir in Parmesan and Provel; remove from heat. Toss with Fettuccine, add toasted bread crumbs and fresh parsley as garnish and serve immediately.Instructions for fresh pasta:
- In a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the flour and salt on low speed. Add the egg yolks, eggs, and olive oil and continue to mix on low speed. Once the flour is incorporated, increase the speed to medium- low and mix/knead the dough for 5 minutes.
- Lightly flour your works surface. Dump the dough onto the surface and continue to knead for a few more minutes. At this point, the dough may look a little dry, which is fine. Wrap the dough well in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before rolling it. This rest allows the flour to be fully absorbed by the wet ingredients for a smooth, tender dough. (You can make the dough up to 1 day ahead of rolling it; keep it refrigerated.)
- Fresh pasta cooks faster (about 1-3 minutes) than dried. So be sure to keep an eye on it.

SHRIMP FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
This take on a classic Italian-American recipe is super easy to make. Slightly reducing the cream and adding a hefty dose of cheese means you don't have to use flour to thicken the sauce.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta, and boil according to package directions until al dente, tender but still slightly firm. Strain, and toss with a splash of oil.
- Meanwhile, arrange the shrimp in a single layer on a large pie pan or paper plate, and pat them with a paper towel until completely dry. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high, and invert the plate of shrimp over the skillet so the shrimp fall into the pan all at once. Cook the shrimp, without moving them, until the underside is pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp, and cook until fully pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl.
- Reduce the heat to medium, and add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce warm.
- Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the shrimp and cooked pasta, and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.

ELAINE'S FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
This recipe came to The Times in a 2004 article about Elaine Kaufman, the founder and proprietress of the famed New York restaurant and celebrity hot spot that bore her name and where this dish was served. There is nothing fancy or complicated about it - it's glorified macaroni and cheese, really - but it is delicious and deeply satisfying. (Fun fact: Jackie O was a fan.)

Steps:
- Bring 6 quarts generously salted water to a boil.
- While the water heats, melt the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; saute until fragrant and sizzling, about 2 minutes. Whisk the cream with the egg yolk in a bowl until blended; pour into the garlic butter. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir until hot but not boiling. Keep warm over low heat.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta, partially covered, until al dente. (The pasta will float when it's done.) Drain in a colander, shaking out excess water, but reserve a little cooking water. Pour hot pasta into the cream mixture and toss to coat (still over low heat). Add the cheese and keep tossing gently until cream is mostly absorbed. Season with salt and pepper. If sauce is absorbed too much, toss with a little pasta water. Serve in warm bowls.

Tips:
- Use fresh and high-quality seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better the dish will taste. Look for seafood that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
- Cook the seafood properly: Seafood should be cooked quickly over high heat to prevent it from becoming tough and rubbery. Do not overcook the seafood, as it will become dry and tasteless.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will bring all the flavors of the dish together. Make sure to use a sauce that is rich and flavorful, and that complements the seafood.
- Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs can add a pop of color and flavor to the dish. Some good options include basil, parsley, and thyme.
- Serve the dish immediately: Fettuccine alla seafood is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Fettuccine alla seafood is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With its combination of fresh seafood, flavorful sauce, and tender pasta, this dish is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a seafood dish that is both impressive and delicious, give fettuccine alla seafood a try.
