Seafood – or “fruits of the sea” (much more poetic in Italian) – is the ideal ingredient for making appetizing and refined pasta dishes, ideal on warm summer evenings. Fresh and tasty, it makes for a delicious sauce that will let any plate of spaghetti evoke a gentle Mediterranean breeze. Clams, mussels, razor clams and sea snails are tasty and low-calorie ingredients, amazing when mixed with a good extra-virgin olive oil to make a simple dish with intense and genuine flavors. Try to make the sauce by following our tips in the tutorial.
Seafood spaghetti ingredients
For this dish you’ll need: 11 oz. clams, 9 oz. mussels, 9 oz. sea snails, 9 oz. razor clams, 11 oz. spaghetti, garlic, fresh chili pepper, oil, white wine, oregano, parsley.
Method
Slice the chili pepper thinly and remove its seeds, then place it in a large pan along with a clove of garlic, a pinch of oregano and 4 tablespoons olive oil. Sauté everything gently.
Clean the exterior of the clams and mussels and purge them very well. Add them to the sauté while still closed, then add the sea snails and lastly the razor clams, which have already been opened.
Sprinkle with a third of a glass of dry white wine, stir, then cover and cook for about 3 minutes, until all the clams and mussels are completely open.
Cook the spaghetti and drain it when it still has about two minutes of cooking time left. Add it to the pan and toss it with the seafood until it’s cooked, but still al dente.
Complete with a tablespoon of chopped parsley and serve.
