One of my favorite ways to enjoy pasta is with seafood.
I was able to watch both of my Italian grandmother's make their sauce (gravy) from scratch. They would both literally spend hours making sure everything tasted just right. Hours. When you cooked for your family you did not cut any corners. You took your time.
While that is still my preferred method, sometimes you just don't have hours to spare to make your sauce. So make I make it and try to make a double batch, so the goodness of the flavors will be cooked in the second time around.

There is nothing quite like fresh scallops, shrimp, calamari, mussels, and clams to make your pasta sing.
It may not always be possible to get fresh seafood, so frozen, is second best. But it is still very tasty.I was able to watch both of my Italian grandmother's make their sauce (gravy) from scratch.
