Delicious Seafood Spaghetti Quick and Easy Recipe
Ingredients
- 250 g spaghetti
- 200 g shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 200 g calamari, sliced into rings
- 200 g mussels, cleaned
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 red chili deseeded and finely chopped
- 400 g can diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- to taste salt and pepper
- for garnish fresh parsley, chopped
- zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta water.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and chopped red chili, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp, calamari, and mussels to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and the mussels begin to open.
- Pour in the can of diced tomatoes and sprinkle in the dried oregano. Stir to combine, and let simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen it up. Toss everything together until the spaghetti is well coated with the sauce and seafood.
- Remove from heat and stir in the lemon zest for a fresh, bright flavor.
- Divide the seafood spaghetti among plates or bowls, garnishing each serving with freshly chopped parsley.
