Cooking instructions:

1. First, cook the spaghetti according to package directions.
2. Heat olive oil in a separate pan, add minced garlic and chili pepper. Sauté for a few minutes.
3. Add the seafood and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, until the seafood is fully cooked.
4. Add the chopped tomatoes and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
5. Drain the cooked spaghetti in a colander and add it to the pan with the seafood, stirring to combine.
6. Serve the pasta with seafood hot, sprinkled with chopped basil and grated Parmesan.

Professional tips:

• Use a mix of seafood for varied textures
• Don’t overcook seafood – it becomes rubbery
• Add chili to taste – you can reduce the spiciness
• Parmesan can be replaced with Pecorino for authenticity

Seafood recommendations:

• Shrimp – peeled, with or without tails
• Squid – cut into rings
• Mussels – cleaned, fresh or frozen
• Scallops – for a more sophisticated version

Recipe variations:

• Add white wine for depth of flavor
• Incorporate cream for a creamy texture
• Use sun-dried tomatoes instead of fresh ones
• Add capers for piquancy

Enjoy!
