Ingredients
- 400g spaghetti or linguine
- 200g shelled and deveined shrimp
- 200g squid rings
- 200g scallops
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 200g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 100ml dry white wine
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 100ml extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A handful of fresh basil leaves, roughly torn
- Grated parmesan cheese (optional)
Мethod of preparation
Start by cooking your pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside. While your pasta is cooking, heat half of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Increase the heat to high, add the shrimp, squid, and scallops, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook the seafood until it's just done, about 2-3 minutes, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and the cherry tomatoes, cooking them until they start to burst. Deglaze the skillet with white wine, allowing it to reduce slightly, then add the lemon juice. Return the seafood to the skillet, toss in the cooked pasta, and mix well to ensure everything is combined and the pasta is coated in the sauce. Finally, stir through the fresh basil leaves and serve immediately, with grated parmesan cheese if desired.
