Cuisine Time: Seafood Pasta

I had the hankering for home made seafood pasta. This is my own take on this simple dish and hope you like it:

For pasta:

- boil pasta (usual way)

For Mussels:

- Prepare to boil salted water 

- Add ginger roots 

- Add mussels 1/2 lbs

- wait until mussels open up (discard unopened shells)

-drain - set aside

For the Dish:

- heat up wok under medium heat

- add 2 tbsp spoons of butter - allow to melt

- add 1 1/2 tbsp of minced garlic - saute a few minutes

- add 1/4 lb peeled shrimps

- add 1/4 lb sea scallops

- allow butter and garlic flavor to soak in 

- add mussels with shell

- season with salt, Italian seasoning and saute all ingredients

- add 1 tbsp  fresh lemon juice

- pour about 3 tbsp white wine

- add Basil then allow flavors to blend

- use slotted spoon to add pasta into the mixture gradually

- add water from pasta to maintain moisture

- drizzle extra virgin olive oil all over (1 tsp)
- toss to mix all around

- add few minced fresh garlic (for fresher flavor)

To Serve: 

- place in serving plate
- garnish w/ fresh Basil and add grated Romano or Parmesan

- Bon Appetito!
