Ingredients

• 400 grams Spaghetti
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 150 milliliters Dry white wine
• 200 grams Large prawns, peeled and deveined
• 200 grams Mussels, scrubbed and debearded
• 150 grams Calamari rings
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 Lemon, juiced

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large, wide pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Thinly slice the garlic cloves. Add the garlic and chili flakes to the pan, sautéing them for about 2 minutes until the garlic is golden and fragrant.

Step 4

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the pan. Stir occasionally until the tomatoes start to break down and become saucy, about 4 minutes.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine, bringing the sauce to a simmer. Allow it to reduce slightly for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the prawns, mussels, and calamari to the sauce. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the mussels open and prawns turn pink and opaque.

Step 7

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Discard any mussels that do not open.

Step 8

Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan, tossing everything together to coat the pasta in the sauce. If needed, add some reserved pasta water a little at a time to achieve the desired sauce consistency.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped parsley and squeeze the juice of one lemon over the pasta.

Step 10

Serve the seafood spaghetti immediately, garnishing each plate with additional parsley if desired.
