Ginas Seafood Passion Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
• Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, Cheddar cheese, pickles, carrot, celery, bell pepper, onion, banana peppers, salad seasoning, mustard, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Mix well.
• Drain pasta and let cool for about 10 minutes. Toss pasta into the dressing; chill before serving.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta to al dente according to package instructions, about 8 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain and reserve.
• Heat the oil in large heavy-bottomed pot over high heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes if using. Lower the heat and cook until the garlic is starting to turn golden, about 1 minute. Add the clams, mussels and white wine and cover. Cook until the shells start to open. As they open transfer them to a bowl with tongs. The mussels will cook faster than the clams but in all it should take 6 to 10 minutes (discard any that do not open). Add the tomato puree to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
• Add the pasta to the sauce and cook until hot, about 2 minutes. If the sauce gets too thick, add the reserved pasta water 1/4 cup at a time until saucy. Stir in the lobster, mussels, clams and any broth from the bottom of the bowl and stir to get everything hot, about 2 minutes. Finish with the lemon zest. Divide between bowls and top with the basil and Parmesan.
