Andy Makes Seafood Pasta | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit

If you don’t have a large enough pot to toss all the shellfish and pasta together, you can always transfer everything to the largest bowl or platter you have, or go old-school and just pour the sauce over the pasta at the table.

INGREDIENTS
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, sliced
¾ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup dry white wine
1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
Kosher salt
1 pound spaghetti
2 pounds mussels, scrubbed, debearded
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled, deveined
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Lemon wedges (for serving)
RECIPE PREPARATION
Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium. Cook onion, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and season with salt. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant and garlic is softened, about 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly darkened in color and starts sticking to bottom of pan, about 4 minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring often, until the smell of the alcohol is almost completely gone, about 4 minutes. Add tomatoes and juices, crushing with your hands, and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 8-10 minutes. Taste and season sauce with salt.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, about 3 minutes less than package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid.
Add mussels, shrimp, and ¼ cup pasta cooking liquid to sauce. Cover and cook, shaking pot occasionally, until mussels open, about 4 minutes. Using tongs, pick out shrimp and mussels and transfer to a large bowl, discarding any mussels that have not opened. Loosely cover with foil to keep warm.
Add pasta and another ¼ cup pasta cooking liquid to sauce and stir to coat. Reduce heat to medium, add butter, and continue to cook, stirring and adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed, until sauce coats pasta, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, return shrimp and mussels to pot, and carefully toss to combine. Mix in parsley and lemon juice.
Transfer pasta to a platter and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

[@Jessicanana89]

This sauce is perfect. I've never made my own marinara before, so this was my first time. My only adjustment was using chicken broth to deglaze my pan because I had no wine. It was delicious! Finishing the noodles in the sauce with butter, really does give this a restaurant quality. I had leftovers of it today, and it was even better!

[@B_Bodziak]

I've never seen anyone do that with a red sauce, but I'll be trying it soon!

What about him?

[@tanvach]

I just make this and it’s amazing. Tips: 1) Dividing the ingredients by 3 gives the perfect portion for dinner for two. 2) We skipped butter and it tasted fine. 3) Adding a little chicken stock cube or anchovies when making the sauce gives it more umami (to our liking)

[@jcb7707]

did you use red pepper flakes and canned tomatoes? will it taste weird if I use paprika and fresh tomatoes instead?

[@jmlicaros92]

I made this dish and it was mind-blowing delish. I added manila clams, and squid. Also, I used RAO's marinara sauce and i added more than 28 oz because I just love tomato sauce. The white wine reduction added a depth of flavor. So good and highly recommended. This is pasta good for a crowd.

[@mouija1450]

I used to get a very similar dish with wide noodles at my wife's favorite Italian spot when my now-wife and I first moved in together. My method was eating the shrimp and pasta until I was sorta full, then picking out the little gems of mollusk meat to eat as little treasures, making a pile of shells on a small plate, and enjoying the leftovers the next day. The mussels taste 10x better after a night in the fridge stewed in sauce. The sea brine and tomato acidity are fantastic together. If a canned version of smoked mussels with tomato sauce existed in my area of the world, like smoked sardines, I would buy so much of that. I love crab, crayfish and lobster for the same reason. You can enjoy a very long dinner with sea bugs because it takes some work to extract all the good bits from within the exoskeleton. Most people throw away the tiny claws on crayfish, but that is the sweetest little bit of meat on the table. Dig for a couple of those morsels with (sanitized) pliers and a toothpick and let your stomach digest. Those tiny chunks of meat taste so good. I've sat for well over four hours at a Labor Day crawfish boil extracting all the goodies of the bugs while my friends and I got drunk on 2 for 1 Abita pitchers.

Andy = goals

[@liviomisgur5964]

No, Andy, seafood spaghetti is about seafood, not tomato sauce. Here in Italy it's often made without ANY tomato. When it's used, there's very little of it, preferably fresh cherry tomatoes so that that the frutti di mare can shine out.
