A delightful seafood pasta recipe with a Mediterranean twist, perfect for a flavorful and satisfying meal.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Using extra virgin olive oil enhances the flavor of the sauce.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for a minute to reduce slightly.
This step adds depth to the sauce by incorporating the wine's flavor.
Add the crushed tomatoes, sugar, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let simmer for 15 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente.
Reserve a cup of pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
Add the shrimp and mussels to the tomato sauce and cook until the seafood is done.
Ensure the mussels open up completely to confirm they are cooked.
Drain the pasta and toss it with a drizzle of olive oil.
Tossing the pasta with oil prevents it from sticking together.
Serve the pasta topped with the seafood sauce and garnish with additional parsley.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
