MOMMA MIA SEAFOOD PASTA
Shrimp deveined (save shrimp peel)- simmer shrimp peel in a small pan with 1/2 cup water with parsley and garlic.
Seafood can cosist of anything you like, I add:
Calamari rings- canned clams (Roland my favorite, reserve clam water),crab, mussels and scallops.
In a skillet simmer garlic and olice oil on low heat, than add chopped tomatoes (canned or fresh), 2 tsp salt, fresh parsley and simmer for 10 minutes . Then add 1/2 cup white wine and simmer again 10 minutes. Now add shrimp water &reserved clam water to seafood and cook for another 10 -15 minutes so seafood incorporates flavors . Add Salt to taste and simmer to desired flavor. An added option: Before serving add 1/2 cup heavy cream and simmer another 10 minutes until thickened add parsley atop. The best pasta to serve with this is Spaghetti or linguine.
I hope you enjoy the recipe, it's an old family tradition. As my grandma use to say "Use your tastebuds and add a little love", meaning don't be afraid to try something new. I have made this recipe 1,000 x's and I always use the basic step. I did not add the quantity of seafood this is for you to distinguish. Remember the sauce needs to be watery and flavorful , reason why is because when you add sauce to pasta it will suck up juices.
After pasta is cooked drain pasta and add 1/2 cup sauce, mix plate and add more sauce with seafood atop.
Bon appetite, If you need any more advice on this pasta dish please p.m me.
