♨️ Boiling Spaghetti Pro Tip
For perfect spaghetti, remember to add a Pinch of Salt to the boiling water and use a Spacious Pot for even cooking.
🍝 Spaghetti Pro Tip
Ensure that the spaghetti or pasta you’re using is Thoroughly Drained of any cooking water, as excess water can dilute the cream sauce, affecting the dish’s overall consistency and flavor.
Step 2 In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream and soy sauce to create a creamy sauce.
Step 3 In a skillet, melt butter and sauté diced onions until browned. Add the seafood mix, garlic, white wine, and clam brine, simmer until the liquid reduces and thickens, approximately 5-7 minutes. Pour the cream sauce into the skillet, mix well and then drizzle the seafood cream sauce over your cooked pasta of choice.
🍝 Garnishing Pro Tip
Garnish your dish with Fresh Parsley and Red Pepper Flakes.
Pairing Recommendations
Consider pairing your mixed Seafood Pasta with a simple vegetable dish like Stir Fry Bean Sprouts or Garlic Kale Stir Fry. These light-flavored vegetables will provide a nice contrast to the creamy pasta. Additionally, serve a briny Clam Miso Soup on the side to complement the seafood flavors.
