Frutti Di Mare In Tomato Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until soft and golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and their juices, wine, and calamari; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until calamari is tender, 25 to 28 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium, add shrimp, clams, and mussels to saucepan. Cook, covered, until clam and mussel shells open, about 10 minutes. Discard any unopened shells.
• Stir in basil and parsley; continue cooking 2 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately over spaghetti.

Steps:

• Heat Oil. Add garlic, onions, wine, and capers. Take it to boil once it's boiling take it to low and cook for about 30 minutes (stir every 10 minutes).
• Clean and steam mussels and clams (discard the ones that do not open).
• Cut calamari in strips about 1/4-inch width.
• Mix seafood with tomato sauce and cook for 5-10 minutes, until seafood is cooked.
• Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper to taste.
• Mix all with your pasta. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place a large pot of water on to boil for pasta. When it boils, add salt and pasta and cook angel hair to al dente.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, saute shallots and garlic with crushed pepper 2 or 3 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Add wine and reduce 1 minute. Raise the heat a bit. Add crushed tomatoes and bring sauce to a bubble. Season sauce with salt and pepper. Add clams and mussels and cover the pan. Steam until shells open, about 5 minutes. Remove any unopened shells. Add shrimp to sauce and cook until just firm, 3 minutes.
• Add parsley and basil to the sauce and shake the pan to incorporate it. Adjust seasonings, to taste.
• Combine drained pasta with a few ladles of sauce and pile pasta into shallow platters or bowls. Top with arranged mixed seafood and sauce. Serve with warm, crusty bread for dipping.

Steps:

• Separate the cleaned shrimp in two equal portions. Mince or grind one portion and set aside. Cut the remaining shrimp into larger pieces and set aside.
• In a large heavy-bottomed pot, saute the onion in the olive oil over medium heat. When the onion is translucent, add the garlic and stir for a minute.
• Add 2 tablespoons of the parsley and stir once or twice.
• Add the chopped squid. Cook for a minute or two, stirring, until the squid changes color from translucent to flat white.
• Add the wine and bubble for about a minute.
• Add the tomatoes, turn down the heat to low, and cover. Simmer for about 45 minutes; the oil will separate. Do not add salt at this point, as it will toughen the squid. (Can be made ahead to this point and refrigerated. Bring up to the simmer to complete the recipe.).
• In a separate pot simmer the water.
• Add the rice to the squid reduction over medium high heat, stirring well to thoroughly coat the rice.
• Add a ladle of the simmering water, stirring the rice constantly to wipe it away from the sides and bottom of the pot. When the water has been absorbed or has evaporated, add another ladleful of water and continue stirring. Continue to add water as it is absorbed. The rice should not be inundated with water, and the heat should remain medium-high.
• After about 15 minutes add the ground shrimp, salt to taste and several grindings of black pepper.
• Continue to cook, stirring and adding water. About 5 minutes before the rice is done, add the larger pieces of shrimp and hot pepper to taste. Correct for salt and pepper.
• The rice is done when it is tender without being mushy. It should not be chewy or chalky. It should be fairly liquid.
• Just before serving, off heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the remaining chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Boil water in a large pot.
• Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat, and sauté garlic until it sizzles.
• Add red pepper flakes to taste; cook 1 minute.
• Add wine and clams (in shell or from can, after rinsing); cover. Increase heat to med-high; cook 5 minutes.
• Now it's time to boil the linguine! Cook until al dente. Uncover sauté pan; simmer 1 minute more.
• Add tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add shrimp, calamari, scallops, and mussels (if using). Cook, stirring, until clams and mussels open, about 3 minutes. Toss with linguine. Add parsley; toss.
• Serve very hot!

Steps:

• Pour olive oil into a large pan over medium heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cook until fragrant, 30 to 40 seconds. Pour in white wine and increase heat to medium-high. Let wine reduce by half, about 8 minutes. Add clam juice and reduce heat to medium-low. Pour in marinara, basil, and salt. Let simmer to let flavors marry, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Add shrimp, scallops, lobster, mussels, and clams to the sauce and cook until clams and mussels open, scallops are opaque, shrimp is pink, and lobster is red on the outside and opaque on the inside, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Toss linguine in sauce until it's thick enough to coat the noodles (it will still be a relatively thin sauce), about 3 minutes.
• Plate noodles and load up with seafood and sauce. Garnish with parsley, and serve immediately with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Prepare the octopus:
• Put octopus in a pressure cooker with water, bay leaf, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and seal pressure cooker with lid, then cook at high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions 10 minutes.
• Put pressure cooker in sink (do not remove lid) and run cold water over lid until pressure goes down completely. Remove lid. Transfer octopus to a cutting board, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Cut off and discard head, then cut tentacles into 1-inch pieces.
• Prepare the tomato sauce:
• Simmer tomatoes with their juice, basil, and olive oil in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, uncovered, stirring and mashing tomatoes occasionally, until thick and reduced to about 3/4 cup, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Prepare the basil puree:
• Puree basil, olive oil, butter, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender, scraping down side as necessary, until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Prepare the pasta and seafood:
• Cook spaghetti in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (3 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water) until 'al dente'.
• Meanwhile, puree garlic and olive oil in cleaned blender until smooth.
• Heat a dry 12-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over high heat until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add olive oil mixture, then immediately add octopus, shrimp, and mussels and saute, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are browned on edges and mussels begin to open, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add tomato sauce and reserved octopus-cooking liquid and cook, stirring, until mussels just open wide and shrimp are just cooked through, about 2 minutes more (discard any unopened mussels). Season with salt and pepper.
• Drain pasta and return to pot.
• Add squid to hot seafood in skillet, stirring to combine, then add to hot pasta and toss to combine (squid will cook as it is being tossed). Serve drizzled with all of basil puree.
• Notes: If you do not have a pressure cooker, octopus can be simmered in a 4-quart pot with bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 4 cups water, covered, turning occasionally, until tender, 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours.
• Octopus can be cooked 1 day ahead and chilled, uncovered, until cool, then covered.
