• 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rigatoni pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Season the shrimp and scallops with salt and pepper. Sear them in the skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until golden but not fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine and cook for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

Step 6

Add the crushed tomatoes, crushed red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 8

Return the shrimp and scallops to the skillet, along with any juices they released. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to finish cooking the seafood.

Step 9

Add the cooked rigatoni pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce.

Step 10

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and lemon juice for brightness.

Step 11

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