Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the thin spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms are tender.

  3. 3

    Cook the Prosciutto

    Add the chopped prosciutto to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until slightly crispy.

  4. 4

    Add Seafood

    Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to turn opaque.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    Pour in the vodka and allow it to simmer for about 2 minutes. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Finish the Sauce

    Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream and chopped basil. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is heated through.

  7. 7

    Combine and Serve

    Toss the cooked spaghetti in the sauce until well coated. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
