Spaghetti with Seafood
- 24 clams
- 24 mussels
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, shaved very thin
- 1/2 cup squid, sliced
- 16 pieces shrimp
- 8 pieces sea urchin
- Cook the clams and mussels with 1/2 cup water until cooked.
- Reserve the liquid.
- Remove the meat from inside the clams and mussels; discard the shells.
- In boiling salted water, begin cooking the spaghetti.
- Simultaneously, heat up the extra-virgin olive oil on medium-high heat in a large saute pan.
- Add the crushed red pepper and shaved garlic and slowly saute.
- Just when the edges of the garlic become lightly browned, remove the pan from the heat and add a large ladle (approximately 8 ounces) of the pasta cooking water to the saute pan.
- Put it back on the heat but do not increase the flame.
- When the pasta is three-quarters of the way cooked, remove from the boiling water to the saute pan.
- Reserve the cooking liquid.
- Continue cooking the spaghetti using the reserved pasta cooking liquid, as needed.
- Add more clam/mussels liquid to achieve creaminess.
- Just before the pasta is cooked, add the clams, mussels, squid, and shrimp.
- Finish cooking the pasta with all the seafood until al dente.
- Remove the seafood pasta from the pan and toss with the sea urchin.
- Serve immediately.
