Vincenzo’s Top Tips To Make Seafood Pasta
Use fresh seafood:
Always opt for fresh seafood when making seafood pasta, as it will make a huge difference in the flavor and texture of the dish.
Don’t overcook the seafood:
To avoid making rubbery and tough seafood, it’s important to cook it just until it’s done. Depending on the type of seafood you’re using, this may only take a few minutes.
Add fresh herbs
Fresh herbs like basil, parsley, and cilantro can add a burst of flavor and freshness to seafood pasta. Be sure to add them at the end of the cooking process for maximum flavor.
Serve immediately
For the best results, serve your seafood pasta immediately after cooking. Leaving the seafood in the sauce for too long can cause it to continue cooking and become tough.
