Cooking is made of passion and creativity, but there are things that just can’t be improvised and  cooking pasta is one of them. Unfortunately it’s not something that comes naturally but it is a skill and as such there are rules that, if followed to perfection, will allow you to avoid errors that could be “fatal to the palate”.

DIFFICULTY:

TIME: 2 h 45 min.

Ingredients: 500 gr. of Mussels, 500 gr. of clams, 5 cuttlefishes , 1 bag of cockles, 12 shrimp tails, tomatoes, shallots, white wine, pepper, salt

Difficulty:

Time:

10 min.

Ingredients:

350 grams of Spaghetti, 500 grams of tomato sauce and  pulp (in summer time you can use fresh tomatoes), 2 cloves of garlic, 2 tablespoons of oil, salt, red pepper, parsley, basil, parmigiano.

Directions:

Bring a pot of water to the boil. Take a large pan and add a tablespoon of oil, 2 cloves of garlic cut in half. As soon as the oil starts to  frizzle pour the tomatoes and then add  the salt and the red pepper (remind that  the red pepper  is hotter if it is cooked for a long time). Cook for 8 minutes over a medium-high heat,  and then for 1 or 2 minutes over a high heat, stir carefully not to burn the tomatoes. In the meantime put the spaghetti in the boiling water, chop thinly the basil and the parsley, and grate the Parmigiano. Drain the spaghetti 1 minute before the cooking point and pour them in the pan with the tomato sauce. Add a tablespoon of oil, the mixed herbs and a rich sprinkling of Parmigiano, sauté over a high heat for 1 minute until the spaghetti catch perfectly their sauce.
