Note

Vary the seafood according to your tastes and availability.

For a vegetarian version, sauté mushrooms and peppers instead of seafood and add them to the tomato sauce.

Traditionally, grated parmesan cheese is not offered with seafood dishes.

The sauce can be prepared ahead of time up to the simmering step. Store in the refrigerator and reheat before adding the seafood and pasta.

Serve pasta and sauce in a large bowl on the table and let people help themselves.
