Zuppa di Pesce aka Italian Seafood Soup
An Italian classic done quick and easy.
Ingredients
- 1 16 oz.box pasta Linguine works real good,,
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 tbsp. red pepper flakes
- 1 fresh lemon
- 1 16 oz. pkg. frozen cooked clams
- 1 16 oz. pkg. frozen cooked mussels
- 1 16 oz pkg. frozen sliced calamari
- 16 large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 4 large basil leaves coarsely chopped for garnish
- grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In the interest of time and ease of preparation I suggest using frozen or canned seafood. We like frozen. The shells still being on the clams and mussels help the look and taste. But, it's even a little faster and still tastes great with canned seafood.
- Put a pot of water on to boil and add the salt. Put a large Sauté pan on at medium high and add the marinara sauce, the lemon juice (and the rinds) and the pepper flakes. When the pasta water comes to a boil add the pasta and mix it right away. It should be done al dente at about the same time as your Zuppa di Pesce
- Add the clams, mussels and calamari to the skillet. Bring it up to a fast simmer and lower the heat just enough to maintain the simmer. Simmer for about five minutes stirring a few times as it cooks.
- When the calamari is soft add the shrimp and stir them into the mix. When the shrimp are opaque serve up your Zuppa di Pesce with the pasta. Garnish with a little chopped fresh basil or parsley and some grated parmesan cheese.
