Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the chitarra pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and Calabrian chili, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Seafood

    Add the fresh seafood to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the seafood is just cooked through.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Tomatoes and Seasoning

    Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, Castelvetrano olives, and capers. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked chitarra pasta to the skillet, tossing to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
