Ingredients

• Linguine - 200 grams
• Mixed seafood (shrimp, mussels, calamari) - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced

• White wine - 100 ml
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Red pepper flakes - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add the mixed seafood to the skillet and cook for about 3-5 minutes until the shrimp are pink and the mussels have opened.
5. Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and white wine, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the alcohol evaporates.
6. Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the linguine and add it to the skillet with the seafood.
7. Toss everything together, adding some reserved pasta water if needed to create a light sauce.
8. Season with salt, black pepper, fresh parsley, and lemon juice before serving.
