Cacciuco Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Pasta

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

2. 2

   Prepare the Seafood

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and half of the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

3. 3

   Add Clams

   Add the clams to the skillet and pour in the white wine. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the clams open.

4. 4

   Add Shrimp and Scallops

   Once the clams have opened, add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through.

5. 5

   Add Crab and Seasoning

   Gently fold in the crab meat, remaining butter, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Combine with Pasta

   Toss the cooked pasta with the seafood mixture in the skillet. Ensure the pasta is well coated with the garlic-butter sauce.

7. 7

   Garnish and Serve

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