Linguine ai frutti di mare (Seafood linguine)



Ingredients (for 4/6 people)

500 g of linguine (a kind of pasta)
a package of deep-frozen seafood (g 200 - 300)
cherry tomatoes (5 o 6)
fresh or deep-frozen parsley
dry white wine (optional)
garlic (3 cloves)
olive oil
a bit of butter
salt
pepper (optional)


Preparation


Heat the olive oil in a wide pan, add the garlic and fry slightly for about 20-30 seconds (it shouldn't turn brown).
Add a bit of butter and the defrozen seafood, the cherry tomatoes cut in half and stir well. After a minute or two, when the oil starts to fry again, add a bit less than half a glass of white wine and wait until it is evaporated. Instead of wine you can also use water, which will render your dish lighter but a bit less tasty.
Cook for 5 minutes and add salt and parsley. Have a taste and decide if you want to remove the garlic now, add some more salt or black ground pepper. Cook for another 10 minutes on a moderate fire.

Meanwhile bring a saucepan of water to a rolling boil and cook the linguine (for the timing have a look at the package). When these are cooked (al dente), drain and add them to the pan. Before serving, sprinkle with some fresh chopped parsley.

Buon appetito!
