Andy Makes Seafood Pasta _ From the Test Kitchen _ Bon Appétit

OK .

We're gonna drop up one my video today .

We're going to be making a spicy tomato y seafood pasta .

It's made with a really simple tomato sauce .

That's most of the items come from your pantry .

Mussels shrimp and spaghetti .

And it's coming from our feast of the seven fishes menu .

And I'm going to show you guys how to make it .

We're gonna take a look at our muscles .

They are pretty clean .

That's because I had the lovely money already clean them for me .

But you want to scrub them , give them a rinse .

I'm just going to take a look and make sure they're in one piece and check for any hairs and pick them out .

Otherwise they're going to fall into your sauce .

And then with the shrimp , I am just going to show how I feel my shrimp .

What I usually do .

I leave the tails on but I'll take scissors , start at the very end and go all the way up to the tail and then I just kind of peel back and then see if there's a vein .

So gross .

Yeah , a large pot to make the sauce .

We have another pot going boiling water for the pasta .

We're going to go medium high heat .

You want the pot large enough so that you could toss the sauce , the pasta , the mussels and the shrimp all together .

We'll add that .

We're gonna cook that down .

You wanted to get soft , you can get a little brown on the edges .

I don't want them too brown , still medium high heat .

And we're gonna let this garlic go just to soften it just to take the edge off a little bit .

Crush red pepper flakes .

We're gonna toast those a little bit too .

Just for like 30 seconds .

You want the oil to extract , you want it to be nice and spicy .

Three tablespoons of tomato paste , we're gonna like cook this down until the tomato paste begins to like split a little like wrinkly .

You're gonna add one cup of white wine like a shiny , that's not true .

That's brad nowadays .

Instead of getting your hands .

Me , I just kind of take a wooden spoon and right away .

Smash them down .

Can you hear me ?

That's fine .

Yeah .

OK .

A bit of salt .

OK .

We're gonna add some pasta water which will have some salt as well .

We're gonna drop a pound of pasta .

I like to use spaghetti because it's classic .

But I don't know , use whatever long pasta you like , they need to taste like the ocean in your pasta water .

This says the cooking time is 12 minutes .

Take three minutes away from that , it's gonna be very , very al dente and still a little crunchy .

That's because we're gonna finish cooking the pasta in the sauce .

So , we're at a good spot when it comes to our tomato sauce , we're gonna just like , let that be , we're gonna add the Mussels .

We're gonna add the shrimp .

Yeah .

Look at that .

Um , and then we'll add our shrimp .

We'll give them a toss just so they're all coated and then we're gonna top this .

We're going to let these go for about 34 minutes until the Mussels open .

The shrimp is pretty much cooked .

We're going to put them aside and then we're gonna add our pasta cook that in .

Let that go until it's al dente .

And then we'll stir in the shrimp and the Mussels .

We're going to want to give this a shake .

Occasionally your muscle glove open , your shrimp will be pretty much cooked .

They're gonna continue cooking once you add them back into the pasta .

If the Mussels don't open , you pick them out and you throw them away because they dead .

Thank you .

I'm gonna add another quarter cup of the good starchy across the water .

I'm going to bring this to a boil if you want to cook it down until the sauce really starts to attach on the pasta .

If you're gonna add three tablespoons , unsalted butter , that's definitely something a little restaurant to that .

I do .

It makes it a little glossy .

It's a little bit of fat .

It cuts the acidity of the tomato and it's not that much .

This is going to serve like 6 to 8 people .

You're fine .

This one , this one .

Yeah .

Get a little bit more salt .

See , stick to the pasta , baby .

Hello .

We're gonna add about a tablespoon of lemon juice .

Some nice parsley over here .

I'm sorry .

Now this is a big platter of pasta .

I'm gonna have it for myself though .

And I like sesame bread .

I'm making a mess now .

Spicy .

It's tomato .

It's bright but from the lemon , it's awesome .

It's delicious .

It's cheesy as hell .

And I hope you guys make it happy holidays .
