Ingredients:
– 400g Maltagliati pasta
– 500g of mixed seafood (shrimps, mussels, clams)
– 4 cloves of garlic
– 3 tablespoons of olive oil
– 2 tablespoons of butter
– 1 cup of white wine
– 1 can of peeled tomatoes
– Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Method:
1. Clean and wash the seafood thoroughly. Debeard the mussels and discard any open ones that do not close when tapped.

3. In a separate pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic cloves and fry until they release their aroma.
4. Add the mixed seafood to the pan and stir-fry for about a minute or two until the shrimps become pink and the mussels and clams open up.
5. Pour in the white wine and stir well for about two minutes until the wine evaporates.
6. Add the can of peeled tomatoes, salt, and ground black pepper and let the mixture cook for about 15 minutes on medium heat to allow the flavors to blend.
7. Finally, add the cooked Maltagliati pasta to the seafood sauce and toss it to ensure that it’s well coated.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley leaves and serve hot.
