Tomato Seafood Pasta

Sarath's Tomato Seafood Pasta

This is one of our favorite pasta dishes.

Fresh tomatoes and spinach, fresh herbs, and fresh mozzarella combine with shrimp and fettuccine for an easy summer meal.


     Ingredients

     8 ounces dry fettuccine pasta

     3 cloves garlic

     2 medium onions, cut into wedges

     3 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves

     4 tablespoons olive oil

     4 medium tomatoes, chopped

     3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

     Salt and pepper to taste

     1 cup spinach leaves (optional)

     3/4 pound cooked/sauteed shrimp – peeled and deveined

     1/2 pound calamari cut into bite sizes and sauteed 

     8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, diced

     Directions

     Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook for 8 minutes, or until tender. Drain.

     In the container of a food processor, combine the garlic, onion and oregano. Pulse until finely chopped. 

     Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion mixture; cook and stir until fragrant and almost golden.

     Mix in the tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes while the pasta is cooking, stirring occasionally.

     Mix in spinach until it wilts, then just before the pasta is done, stir in the shrimp and calamari. Cook until heated through.

     Toss with pasta in a large serving bowl, and mix in mozzarella cheese.
