Simple and “sumptuously summer”, this pasta dish is full of flavorful fresh seafood, tomatoes and a variety of fresh herbs. A truly attractive, colorful seasonal meal. “Frutti di mare” in Italian means the fruit of the sea. For anyone who loves both seafood and Italian cuisine this classic pasta dish is a real treat. Choose your favorite seafood (clams, mussels, scallops, calamari, crab etc.) prepared with a garlicky fresh tomato sauté ~ you will want to eat outdoors~ A seaside restaurant in your own backyard! Toast a baguette for some crusty bread for dipping up all that tasty juice, a sprinkle of fresh grated cheese, a side salad and of course a chilled glass of wine. To the sweet taste of Summer! xo Denise Ingredients: Serves 6 8 ~ 10 Cloves fresh chopped garlic In a sauté pan heat oil and butter, red pepper flakes and sauté garlic on low heat for 2 minutes. Add the chopped fresh tomatoes and all the fresh herbs, sauté for 4 minutes. Add fresh fish and sauté for 3 minutes, add tomatoes, wine, and seafood juice. Cook for 3 more minutes. Boil water with salt for pasta, cook al dente, drain and toss with fish sauce. I chopped my seafood up as my kiddies were eating over ~ but whole mussels and shrimp look quite appetizing. |
