How to Make Paella Style Shellfish Pasta

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a saucepan, bring 1 ½ cups seafood broth and ½ cup dry white wine to a boil. Stir in a pinch of saffron threads.
  3. Reduce heat to low and maintain a gentle simmer.
  4. In an 8-inch heavy ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Add 8 ounces uncooked pasta (like short pasta such as ditalini or shells) and sauté, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  5. Pour the simmering broth mixture over the pasta and simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Nestle 1 cup cooked shellfish (shrimp, mussels, or clams) and ½ cup frozen artichoke hearts into the pasta. Bake, uncovered, in the middle of the oven until the liquid is reduced to a syrupy glaze, about 20 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives.
  8. Serve immediately. Serves 2.
