Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Shrimp — Make sure to devein and peel the shrimp before cooking. This will ensure a clean and enjoyable eating experience.
  • Calamari — To achieve tender calamari, either cook it quickly over high heat or simmer it for a longer time until it becomes tender. Avoid overcooking, as it can result in rubbery calamari.
  • Mussels — Before cooking, scrub the mussels thoroughly and remove any beards. Discard any mussels that do not close when tapped, as they may be spoiled.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a spicier kick, increase the amount of chili flakes according to your preference.
  • Serve the Scialatielli all’Amalfitana with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute the white wine with vegetable broth.
  • Feel free to add other seafood such as clams or scallops to enhance the variety of flavors.
  • To save time, you can use store-bought scialatielli pasta instead of making it from scratch.

Serving advice

Serve the Scialatielli all’Amalfitana in individual pasta bowls or plates. Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice for a burst of freshness. Accompany the dish with a side of crusty bread to mop up the flavorful sauce.

Presentation advice

To present the Scialatielli all’Amalfitana beautifully, arrange the pasta neatly in the center of the plate. Place the seafood on top of the pasta, ensuring an even distribution. Drizzle some of the sauce over the seafood and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an inviting touch.
