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.

  • 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

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.

Tips:

  • Select High-Quality Seafood: Choose fresh and sustainably sourced seafood for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a Variety of Seafood: Combine different types of seafood, such as shrimp, mussels, clams, and calamari, for a more diverse and flavorful dish.
  • Prepare the Seafood Properly: Clean and devein the shrimp, remove the shells from the mussels and clams, and slice the calamari into rings. This ensures that the seafood cooks evenly.
  • Choose the Right Pasta: Select a pasta that can hold the sauce well, such as linguine, spaghetti, or penne.
  • Cook the Pasta Al Dente: Cook the pasta until it is al dente, which means it is still slightly firm to the bite. This prevents it from becoming too soft and mushy in the sauce.
  • Sauté the Seafood: Quickly sauté the seafood in a pan with olive oil, garlic, and white wine. This helps to develop flavor and aroma.
  • Make a Flavorful Sauce: Combine cherry tomatoes, capers, olives, and herbs with the seafood and pasta in a flavorful sauce. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
  • Assemble the Pasta Cartoccio: Place the pasta and seafood mixture on a sheet of parchment paper. Fold the parchment paper into a packet, sealing it tightly to create a sealed pouch.
  • Bake the Pasta Cartoccio: Bake the pasta cartoccio in a preheated oven until the seafood is cooked through and the pasta is heated.
