Ingredients

• 12 oz spaghetti (dairy-free, wheat-based or gluten-free as needed)
• 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 tsp red chili flakes
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup dry white wine (optional, or substitute with vegetable broth)
• 8 oz large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 6 oz sea scallops
• 1 lb mussels or clams, scrubbed and cleaned
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest and set the spaghetti aside.

Step 2

In a large, deep skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes, stirring until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and release their juices.

Step 4

Pour in the white wine (or vegetable broth) and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 5

Add the shrimp and scallops to the pan, cooking them for 2 minutes on each side, or until they turn opaque and lightly golden.

Step 6

Add the mussels or clams to the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the shells open. Discard any mussels or clams that do not open.

Step 7

Season the seafood mixture with sea salt and black pepper, then add the cooked spaghetti to the pan. Toss everything together gently to combine.

Step 8

If the pasta seems dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the parsley and lemon juice for a fresh, vibrant finish.

Step 10

Divide the pasta and seafood mixture among serving plates, and serve immediately for a delightful dairy-free seafood experience.
