Jeff and I both love any sort of seafood and with many fine Italian Eateries in the area, we can always find a spectacular pasta dish with fruit from the sea that will satisfy our culinary cravings... However, the recipe I came up with below is perfect when you just need a night in. Add a nice glass of Malbec or Pinot Noir and you are all set!
Makes 4 decent size servings.
2 to 3 TBS olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 sweet onion, diced
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
18 oz. marinara sauce (I like Newman's Own)
4 oz. heavy cream
1/2 lb. baby scallops
1 can whole clams
12 oz. ready-to-cook shrimp
Angel Hair Pasta, cooked according to directions to Al Dente stage.
In large pot, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and pepper flakes and cook a couple minutes, careful not to burn the garlic. Add marinara sauce and bring to a gentle boil. Combine heavy cream and cook until sauce thickens a bit. Add clams, scallops and shrimp and simmer about 10 minutes, until seafood is cooked through. Season with sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste.
While sauce is simmering, cook pasta in salted water according to directions.
Serve with a nice crusty bread from your local bakery.
Enjoy!
