Ingredients

• 400 grams spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 medium onion
• 400 grams canned crushed tomatoes
• 120 milliliters dry white wine
• 200 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 200 grams scallops
• 500 grams mussels, cleaned
• 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 liters water
• 2 teaspoons salt (for boiling pasta)

Directions

Step 1

Bring 2 liters of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 2 teaspoons of salt and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.

Step 2

While the spaghetti cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Finely chop the garlic and onion. Add the garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.

Step 5

Add the canned crushed tomatoes, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoons of black pepper. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 6

Rinse the seafood to ensure it is clean. Add the mussels to the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the mussels open (discard any that do not).

Step 7

Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they turn opaque and are cooked through.

Step 8

If the sauce is too thick, add the reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 9

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the sauce. Let it cook together for 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your Spaghetti with Seafood Sauce!
