    The easiest seafood pasta recipe, made with clams, mussels, squid and shrimp in a creamy and rich tomato sauce. A quick and delicious dinner ready in 20 mins!

    This fancy-looking Italian-style pasta recipe is one of the easiest, most impressive meals you can have on the table in less than 20 mins.

    For this Quick Seafood Fresh Pasta, I've used very simple ingredients: Italian fresh pasta (I used fresh spaghetti), a mix of seafood (squid, mussels, clams and shrimps), a small red onion, a handful of cherry tomatoes and lemon zest.

    Other than that, you'll just need some basics such as good-quality extra-virgin olive oil and aromatic herb.

    Making this super tasty pasta couldn't be easier. All you have to do is saute' the seafood sauce, cook the pasta for a couple of minutes, and mix it with the sauce. There you go, an awesome fancy-looking meal ready in less than a blink!

    Choosing the right ingredients, as regular readers will know, is important for me just as much as cooking them.

    As a proud Italian, I make my own fresh pasta whenever I can, but you know how busy life is, so don't feel bad if you use store-bought fresh pasta, or regular pasta.

    Just make sure to choose high-quality pasta, that's the key for a great meal.The easiest Seafood Fresh Pasta recipe, made with clams, mussels, squid and shrimp in a creamy and rich tomato sauce. A quick and delicious dinner that you can whip up in less than 20 mins! Recipe by The Petite Cook

      I don’t often eat seafood but I know I’d love this dish. Freezers are great for keeping the house stocked with good quality food while on a budget. Great dish!
