Ingredients:
- 350g frozen mixed seafood (such as shrimp, calamari, and mussels)
- 1 package of spaghetti (approximately 400g)
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (adjust according to your spice preference)
- 1/4 cup of white wine (optional)
- A handful of chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Step 1: Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: While the spaghetti is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until fragrant and golden brown.
Step 3: Add the frozen seafood to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until lightly browned and heated through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 4: If using white wine, pour it into the skillet and let it simmer for a minute or two to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
Step 5: Next, add the diced tomatoes and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper according to your taste preference. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 6: Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add a splash of water or vegetable broth to achieve the desired consistency.
Step 7: Once the sauce has thickened and the seafood is cooked through, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Step 8: Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss it gently with the seafood sauce until well-coated.
Step 9: Serve the Spaghetti allo Scoglio hot, garnished with additional parsley, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for an extra burst of flavor.
