Pasta Cartoccio Frutta Di Mare Recipes

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:

• 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:

• Boil water in a large pot. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Cook garlic until it sizzles. Add red pepper flakes to taste; cook 1 minute. Add wine and clams; cover. Raise heat to medium-high; cook 5 minutes. Add linguine to boiling water. Cook until al dente. Uncover sauté pan; simmer 1 minute more. Add tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Add rest of seafood. Cook, stirring, until clams and mussels open, about 3 minutes. Toss with linguine. Add parsley; toss. Divide among 4 bowls.

Steps:

• Cut the shrimp lengthwise in half. Cut each half crosswise. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a skillet and add the shallots and garlic. Cook, stirring, about one minute. Add the shrimp and scallops and cook, stirring, about one minute. Add the tomatoes and broth and bring to the boil. Let simmer about one minute and add the parsley, oregano and Cognac.
• Add the clams and mussels and cover closely. Cook until the clams and mussels open, about one and a half minutes. Add the crab meat, stir gently and remove from the heat.
• Bring four quarts of water to the boil and add the perciatelli. Cook, stirring down with a fork, about one and a half minutes and add the mezza-lasagne and fettuccine. Continue cooking about six minutes.
• Meanwhile, spread out on a flat surface a sheet of aluminum foil measuring about 17 by 30 inches. Fold the foil over itself to make a rectangle measuring 15 by 17 inches. Fold over the open edges to seal. Drain the pasta and place it in the foil bag. Pour the sauce with seafood into the bag. Scatter the basil leaves on top of the pasta and sauce. Fold the open end of the foil to seal it all around hermetically.
• Lightly oil the bottom of a metal, flame-proof dish or baking sheet and place the pasta-filled foil bag on top. Turn the burner to high. Cook for about two minutes, until the bag puffs like a pillow.
• Using a sharp knife, cut a long slit on one side of the bag. Divide the pasta and seafood among four heated dishes.
