How to make the ultimate seafood pasta, and impress everyone (even yourself).
Let’s get one thing straight. This is an article and recipe about
seafood - specifically how to make spaghetti marinara. Though my International readership (in the US) may be confused.
Spaghetti is an Italian word. It means “Italian egg flour noodles”. They're adapted from Chinese noodles
discovered on a cultural exchange program with China by Marco Polo in the
Thirteenth Century (he introduced Asia to rice in return… not that either food
took off!).
I think we can agree on that. (Actually we can't... see comments below from yourself some months later ~ Ed.)
But “marinara”? Does it mean “of the sea”? I’d like to think so. Technically, you’d use the term “frutti
di mare” in Italian, meaning “fruits of the sea” (which sounds highly suss). In the US, they think “marinara sauce”
is a tomato based concoction, that you might have
“with or without clams”. But here en Australie you can readily buy “marinara
mix” at fish shops and the supermarket.
So first up, this is about how to make the
greatest seafood pasta you can possibly make.
