Capellini with Seafood
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Fiorfiore Spaghetti Pasta
- 1 lb shrimp (peeled & deveined), clams, and mussels (cleaned and open)
- ¼ cup Fiorfiore Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup white wine
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon
- ¼ cup fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add Fiorfiore Spaghetti Pasta and cook according to package instructions (about 8–9 minutes) until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta cooking water before draining the spaghetti. Set aside.
- Ensure shrimp are peeled and deveined. Scrub clams and mussels, discarding any that are already open and won’t close when tapped.
- Heat 3 tbsp of Fiorfiore Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a large, deep skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
- Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 1–2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off while the liquid reduces slightly.
- Add the cleaned clams and mussels to the skillet first, as they take longer to cook than shrimp. Cover the pan with a lid and let them steam for about 3–5 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until the shells open.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook uncovered for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Discard any clams or mussels that do not open.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the seafood mixture. Toss gently to coat the pasta in the sauce.
- If the mixture seems dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to create a silky sauce.
- Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the pasta.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and some zest for extra brightness, if desired.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
