Tonight I made a seafood pasta with fettuccine, a mix of grilled vegetables, and sourdough rolls.
- 360 g fettuccine
- 6 garlic cloves
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp parsley
- Parmesan
- salt
- ground black pepper
- 1.5 cups dry white wine
- 0,5 lb cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 lb clams
- 0.5 lb mussels
- 0.5 lb bay scallops
Serves: 6
Preparation
- Dry scallops thoroughly
- Start boiling salted pasta water
- Clean clams and mussels in cold water by scrubbing shells to remove dirt
- Add 3 tbsp. of oil to a pan with medium heat. Saute the minced garlic cloves for roughly a minute. This pan will hold our seafood and pasta. I use a Chef's pan.
- Add the fettuccine to the boiling water
- Add mussels, clams, and tomatoes and season with salt and pepper
- Saute seafood for 2 minutes then add wine and shrimp
- Bring the seafood and wine to a simmer and then cover. Cook for 4-6 minutes until the shells open
- In a separate pan, heat a tbsp of olive oil on medium heat
- Add the bay scallops to the pan and cook each side for 15-20 seconds. Cooked scallops are no longer be translucent.
- Add scallops and pasta to the main pan and turn to low
- Garnish the pasta with parsley and Parmesan
Outcome
I am real happy with this recipe. It is real simple and very difficult to mess up. The key to any seafood dish is good seafood. I like garlic quite a bit and may add some more. Shallots are also good in this if you have them around.
