Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in well-salted water until just tender.
  2. Reserve a little of the cooking water before draining.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a wide pan and cook the onion until soft.
  4. Add the garlic and chili flakes, then stir briefly.
  5. Add the seafood and cook until just opaque.
  6. Stir in the tomatoes and a splash of pasta water.
  7. Let the sauce bubble gently for a minute.
  8. Add the pasta to the pan and toss everything together.
  9. Season with salt and pepper, then finish with parsley.

Typical mistakes to avoid

Don’t overcook the seafood — it should stay tender, not rubbery.
Avoid thick sauces here; keeping it loose makes the pasta lighter and fresher.
