Ingredients
- 400 g spaghetti
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.5 tsp red chili flakes
- 120 ml white wine
- 500 g mixed seafood (clams, mussels, shrimp, squid)
- 200 g cherry tomatoes
- 20 g parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 piece lemon
Directions
Step 1
Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until it's al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Mince the garlic and add it to the pan along with the red chili flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Step 3
Add the white wine to the pan and allow it to simmer for about 2 minutes, reducing slightly.
Step 4
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the mixed seafood to the pan. Stir well and cover the pan with a lid. Let the seafood cook for about 5-6 minutes until the clams and mussels open, and the shrimp turn pink. Discard any shellfish that do not open.
Step 5
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the pan along with the cooked spaghetti. Toss everything together gently to combine.
Step 6
Add a little reserved pasta water if the sauce needs more liquid. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Chop the parsley finely and add it to the pan, tossing it through the spaghetti and seafood mixture.
Step 8
Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the dish and give it a final toss.
Step 9
Serve immediately, garnishing with additional parsley if desired.
