Angel Hair Pasta with Squid, Mussels and Zucchini
-
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
-
6 garlic cloves—4 minced, 2 thinly sliced (more garlic can be added according to personal preference- I'm going with 8 cloves)
-
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
-
3/4 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
- Salt
-
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy seasoning
-
2 pounds mussels, scrubbed
-
1 cup dry white wine
-
1/2 pound baby squid, bodies cut into thin rings
-
1 pound angel hair pasta
-
1 pound small zucchini, julienned
-
In a large, deep skillet, combine 2 tablespoons of the olive oil with the minced garlic, oregano and panko
and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until golden and
fragrant, about 7 minutes. Season the crumbs with salt and scrape them
onto a plate; wipe out the skillet.
-
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil with the
sliced garlic, Mrs Dash seasoning and crushed red pepper until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the mussels and white wine. Cover and cook until the shells have
opened, about 5 minutes; discard any mussels that don't open. Add the
squid to the skillet and cook just until firm, 1 minute. Using a slotted
spoon, transfer the seafood to a large bowl.
-
Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta until
barely al-dente. Drain; reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
-
Add the pasta to the skillet, along with the cooking water and the
zucchini. Add the seafood and any accumulated juices and toss over
moderate heat until the zucchini is cooked, about 1 minute. Transfer the
pasta and seafood to bowls. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with
the seasoned crumbs. Serve right away.
