In Italian "spagetti allo scoglio" (literally "reef spaghetti"), these are a staple of Italian food! My kids adore them and ask me on a weekly basis to make these. It is literally their favourite pasta. So tasty and so easy to make, even with frozen seafood so you can whip it up with not too much pre-planning. Of course, if spaghetti isn't your thing you can also swap for other types of pasta, but I would stick to longer formats for the best flavour.


Each region and even each person has their own recipe for these, but this is how I make them especially in summer when my vegetable patch produces lots of tomatoes and I can find seafood at a cheaper price over here.

Ingredients

  • 11oz spaghetti
  • Approx. 15oz of seafood mix (clams, mussels, squid, prawns, scampi, etc.)
  • 5oz cherry tomatoes
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2/5 cup White wine
  • fresh parsley to taste
  • extra virgin olive oil to taste
Instructions

After having washed and dried them, cut the cherry tomatoes into small pieces and chop the parsley.
Boil the spaghetti in salted water according to packet instructions.
In a pan, heat the oil and the garlic and add the frozen seafood mix (without defrosting).
Once thawed, check that there is not too much liquid and add the cherry tomatoes and the parsley with the white wine, mixing. Season. Let it cook on a low-medium heat until the seafood has completely cooked, the cherry tomatoes are soft and the white wine significantly reduced, which should take 10 minutes.
Drain the spaghetti 1 minute before they are ready, they should still have a bite to them, and add to the pan with the sauce. Cook for a final minute all together whilst continue mixing, so it all gets coated in the sauce.
Serve with extra fresh parsley on top if wanted.
