Why put the tomatoes in a blender? Can’t you use puréed in a can or crushed?
Rasa Malaysia
Sure you can if you want to use can. I don’t want to use canned tomatoes.
Kim
I made this dish, with some alterations, for my wife and my mother; my mother has never had it. They both loved it. This is definitely a keeper!!
Rasa Malaysia
Awesome!

I can’t imagine adding clams in a shell, scallops and shrimp to the pan at all the same time. The scallops and the shrimp will be completely disintegrated by the time the clam shells open. ??
Rasa Malaysia
You can add clams first if you like and take them out after they are open and add scallops and shrimp. I get live clams where I am, and the cooking timing is just fine.

I made this last night and was told I now have to make this once a month everyone loved it. I was amazed at how good the sauce turned out . Really good.
Brian Foote
It is actually very good that way. Just switch to an alfredo.

Hi Lisa,
My wife can’t have red sauce how would this receive work with a white sauce ? What type of white sauce would you recommend for the sea food pasta ?
Thanks,
David
Lisa
Simple & delish. I doubted this recipe while cooking the sauce. But one the spag was added Amy doubts went away. I used whole wheat spaghetti & bag of frozen seafood mix. I did have to drain the extra liquid from using frozen seafood. But it really came together in the end. This one is going into the rotation! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Lisa. Please try more recipes on my site!

Do I sauté the shrimp and scallops prior to adding sauce or will they cook completely in the sauce raw?
Rasa Malaysia
You can saute a bit but they will cook in the sauce for sure.
Bryn
