How to prepare the recipe for cavatelli with seafood

1. First, purge the mussels and clams so that no sand remains inside.
2. In a pan, heat the oil with the garlic clove, the chilli pepper and the parsley stalks and let them flavor then remove them.
3. Add the cuttlefish cut into rings and after a couple of minutes the peeled tomatoes mashed with a fork. After 5 minutes of cooking, add the shrimps without their shells, mussels and clams . Close with the lid and wait for them to open: it will take 2-3 minutes.

Variations: cavatelli with shellfish baked in foil and white

Similarly to the previous recipe you can prepare cavatelli in foil. In this case , cook the pasta for one or two minutes less than what is written on the label, toss it in a pan with the sauce prepared according to the recipe, then prepare the packets. Remove 4 sheets of parchment paper, place a little dough in the center of each, distribute the seafood and close like candy with string. Bake at 180 ° C for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

To prepare the white cavatelli instead omit the peeled tomatoes. Immediately after adding cuttlefish, shrimps, mussels and clams blended with a glass of white wine and when you no longer smell alcohol, close the lid until the mussels and clams open. Drain the pasta and toss in the pan with the sauce, adding cooking water if needed. Season with parsley and serve.

storage

Like all recipes with fish it is best to prepare and consume them at the moment . If you have any leftovers, you can keep them in the refrigerator for one day and reheat them in a pan before consuming them.
