🔪 Instructions
Prep all your ingredients and have them ready at hand to use. The seafood cooks really quickly so it's best to have all of your ingredients ready to go!
You can begin the process of cooking your linguine while you are preparing the sauce. Be ready to reserve 1 cup of the pasta water just before draining.
Add extra virgin olive oil to your large pot or Dutch oven on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the anchovies and stir until they melt into the oil, about 2 minutes.
Then add the defrosted seafood mix and wine, and stir to combine well.
It's time to add all of the other ingredients! So now add the garlic, chili, capers, tomatoes, ¾ cup of the parsley, chicken stock, and salt and pepper. Bring to the boil on medium-high heat, and then lower the heat to a low simmer, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes.
Keep the sauce warm on a low heat while your pasta finishes cooking if it is not ready. Don't forget to reserve 1 cup of the pasta water just before draining. Add the drained pasta to your seafood mix sauce and stir well. If the pasta is too dry for your liking, add some of the reserved pasta water a little at a time until you get the silky smooth pasta you are after.
If you feel there is too much liquid in the sauce, then you can cover the pot and let the pasta rest for around 3 minutes or so. During this time, the sauce will thicken.
Your seafood pasta is now ready to serve!
Suggestions For Serving
Place your pasta on a pretty plate and garnish with Italian parsley and Parmesan. The perfect finishing touch is a drizzle or two of extra virgin olive oil!
This easy dish is perfect served as a main course with some crusty bread and a fresh salad served as a side dish.
