Recipe of Spaghetti a la marinera

Vida Recetas Editorial

Spaghetti a la marinera is a classic of Spanish cuisine that combines pasta with a variety of seafood in a homemade tomato sauce. This dish, originally from the coastal regions of the Mediterranean, stands out for its intense sea flavor and its simplicity of preparation. It is ideal for a special meal or an informal dinner, as it does not require great culinary skills.

Why this recipe works

The key is the balance between the ingredients: clams, mussels, and prawns provide different textures and flavors, while the sautéed onion and garlic with tomato creates a juicy base that coats the spaghetti. Additionally, it is a versatile option: you can substitute one seafood for another depending on availability or preference.

Variations and presentation

There are versions with white wine, chili, or even cream, but this traditional recipe maintains the essence of the sea. It is recommended to serve hot, sprinkled with fresh chopped parsley and accompanied by a good dry white wine.
