Learn How To Cook Pasta Properly.
In a large heavy
frying pan over low heat, melt butter and 2
tablespoons olive oil; add garlic and sauté
approximately 3 minutes or until soft.
Increase heat to
medium-high. Add shrimp, scallops, and red pepper
flakes; sauté until the shrimp turn pink and the
scallops are almost cooked (as soon as the scallops lose
their translucence and turn opaque, they are done),
approximately 2 to 3 minutes depending on the size
of the shrimp and scallops.
Add the clam juice and
the cooked pasta to the frying pan. Increase heat to
high and cook, tossing mixture with tongs, until
pasta has absorbed most of the liquid and the
mixture is heat through, approximately 3 minutes.
Add sun-dried tomatoes,
parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper;
toss gently. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Remove from heat.
Place the Seafood
Spaghettini onto individual serving plates and serve
immediately.
