Spaghetti allo scoglio

Method

1. 1 Soak clams and mussels in diluted salt water for 60 minutes to release the sand, then scrub the shells clean.
2. 2 Clean the shrimp and squid, and slice the squid into bite-sized rings.
3. 3 Sauté garlic and chili peppers in olive oil for 2 minutes, then add clams and mussels and white wine, cover and simmer for 5 minutes until they open.
4. 4 Remove the clams and mussels, strain the liquid, add the sliced tomatoes and cook for 8 minutes to make a sauce.
5. 5 Add the shrimp and squid to the pan of sauce and stir-fry quickly for 3 minutes until just cooked.
6. 6 Boil the noodles for 8 minutes, then mix them with all the seafood, sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately.

With an appliance

• Microwave 43 min

  Replace step 3: steam clams and mussels in a loosely covered bowl at 800 W for 3 minutes; this only reduces the cooking time by about 2 minutes, but ensures the shells open evenly, eliminating the need to shake the pot, and reserving the juices for step 4.
