I personally love pasta in red sauce. So pretty much anything made with tomato sauce. 🙂 But you know what my number one favorite is? Seafood Marinara! Oh, I’m telling you, I can devour two servings in one sitting!

I really love the marinara with all kinds of seafood, such as prawns or shrimps, which are the most commonly used, fish, mussels, as well as calamari. In fact, you can enjoy this recipe even with just shrimps. Lots of them!

Sounds fancy to you? The truth is, Seafood Marinara Pasta is super fast and easy to make. You can make everything in less than an hour. It’s a great dish for dinner. And if you have leftover, you can put it in the fridge, pack it the following morning and take it to work for lunch. That’s like hitting two birds with just one stone. 🙂

Nowadays, you can see a lot of stores selling pre-made marinara sauce. But if I were you, I would prefer to make my own at home. This way, you will be able to add more ingredients and make it more flavorful. It’s the best way to go anyway….

Notes

• When cooking the pasta, be sure to stir occasionally. Do not overcook it. It should still be a little bit firm to bite.
• You can garnish with freshly chopped green onions or lemon wedges.

If you can manage to prepare the sauce while you are cooking the pasta, you will have this dish on your dinner table sooner than expected. Aside from shrimps, you can add mussels and calamari as well. If you intend to add mussels, you can add it at the same time when you put the shrimps in.

Once the mussels have opened, then you know that they are cooked. Some may not open, though, so make sure to discard those.
