Who doesn't love pasta? Delicious, filling, and easy to prepare, pasta is one of the most versatile dishes out there. While there's nothing wrong with classic spaghetti and meatballs, we love a good seafood pasta recipe. We've rounded up a few of our favorites that we think you should try!
Crab Legs
Creamy, rich pasta with mouthwatering Alaskan King Crab will make you feel like royalty. This tagliatelle recipe is like magic: pasta made from scratch, and a white wine sauce paired with chilis, garlic, and parsley. You deserve to eat this!
If you're looking for something with a bit more of a comfort food feel, you can't go wrong with this Alaskan King Crab macaroni and cheese. All we can say is - this is a must try!
Shrimp
If you love shrimp scampi, but want to mix it up a little, we suggest trying this Cajun shrimp pasta. With a sauce made from heavy cream and parmesan cheese poured over Cajun-seasoned grilled shrimp, it's sure to make your mouth water before you even finish cooking.
If that's not what you're looking for, this shrimp chow mein definitely is. This one is also a great way to mix in any vegetables you have on hand. We love yakisoba noodles with shrimp, cabbage, onion, and celery, but the experimentation possibilities are endless.
Salmon
You might tend to think of salmon best as grilled or smoked, but why not try it over pasta? A simple sauce of white wine, heavy cream, butter, garlic and lemon over a plate of linguine with capers, spinach and flakes of salmon is sure to spice up your pasta night.
We also love this fusilli with a fresh basil pesto and grilled salmon for a new twist. Don't forget the parmesan cheese and a lemon squeeze to finish it off. We recommend adding red pepper flakes or a splash of your favorite hot sauce if you like things on the spicy side.
Did you know you can make a creamy pasta sauce without using heavy cream? If you're looking for a lighter dish, try using the pasta water to thicken your sauce instead. This salmon penne with sundried tomatoes is rich and satisfying, without being too heavy. Sauté garlic and shallots in some olive oil with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Add white wine, freshly squeezed lemon juice and lemon zest to your reserved pasta water. Then, toss in the sundried tomatoes and freshly torn basil. You definitely won't be missing the heavy cream!
You really can't go wrong choosing from this lineup of phenomenal recipes, so try some out and pick your favorite! Bon appétit!
