Italian Eatery request for recipes for Seafood Spaghetti.

 I was fortunate in 2004  to visit Italy for the first time with my wife.  What can you say to be in Italy is to love Italy. One place that I stayed was on the coast for a week called Vernazza in the Cinque Terre coast.  It was a small fishing village located on the foot hills where they grew grapes and olives. There was also lots of fresh produce and seafood. One night we went out to dinner to an out door restaurant over looking the bay. I order seafood spaghetti. Everything was fresh including the white wine grown among the rolling hills. Do you remember the movie with Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan in the Restaurant and the lady next to them said I will have what they are having.  Well it was a kind of a reaction with my seafood dinner that Meg was faking.

So needless to say I feel in love with Italian cooking. So at the request from Joan Mirantz who wrote the blog recently Italian Eatery here is my recipe.  First you need some Andre Bocelli music to set the mood. Then pour your self a little Pino and your ready. Here is what you will need.

1. Fresh Basil.
2. Sun Dried Tomatoes
3. Garlic
4. onions
5. Fresh Tomatoes
6. Shitake mushrooms
7. zucchini squash
8. small clams
9. shrimp
10. Pinch of red pepper flakes
11. ½ cup dry white wine.
12. pinch of pepper
13. Virgin olive oil

 saute the above in olive oil start with the shrimp and clams then add the rest of the ingredients.

I like to use Artichoke Spaghetti noodles.

 So mix the sauté ingredients with noodles and you are good to go.  I hope you like it is a easy crowd pleaser.

 Bon Appétit,
