Ingredients

• 400 g penne pasta
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 shallots, finely chopped
• 150 ml dry white wine
• 250 ml heavy cream
• 250 g shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 200 g scallops
• 300 g mussels, cleaned and debearded
• 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 4 liters water

Directions

Step 1

Bring 4 liters of water to a boil in a large pot. Add a generous pinch of salt, then cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots, and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Increase the heat to medium-high and pour in the white wine. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning the seafood occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and the scallops are opaque.

Step 6

Add the mussels to the skillet, cover, and let cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the mussels open. Discard any unopened mussels.

Step 7

Toss the cooked penne pasta into the skillet, along with the reserved pasta water. Mix everything together until the pasta is fully coated in the sauce.

Step 8

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley and Parmesan, if desired. Enjoy!
