How to Make Marinara Seafood Pasta

  1. Cook 350g of your favorite pasta according to package directions. Reserve about ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. In a large skillet, combine ½ cup dry white wine and ¼ cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. Add 250g scallops to the simmering liquid. Cook for 1 minute per side, until opaque and slightly browned. Remove scallops from skillet and set aside.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add 400g canned crushed tomatoes, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon tomato paste. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  6. Add the cooked scallops, 150g cooked prawns, and 100g cooked mussels (or other seafood of your choice) to the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until heated through and the seafood is cooked.
  7. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint, and season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  9. Serve immediately and garnish with extra parsley and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese (optional).
