Celebrate Pasta Month with these 6 Sensational Seafood Pasta Recipes
Skip the parm and load up on wild Alaskan seafood with these sensational seafood pasta recipes.
Creamy Salmon Pasta with Spinach and Herbs
This quick and easy salmon pasta recipe uses ground salmon burger, but the same amount of skinless salmon fillet, cut into small pieces, will work nicely. Farfalle–bowtie pasta–is great here because it captures all of the yummy sauce in the nooks and crannies. Penne, orecchiette, or rotini would be a perfect substitute.
Baked Feta and Tomato Seafood Pasta
It’s understandable why baked feta and tomato pasta went viral on Instagram and TikTok — it’s so yummy! We’ve gilded the lily by adding wild-caught seafood to the baking dish for a sumptuous hit of lean protein. The feta and juices from the tomatoes and fish combine to make a luscious sauce full of flavor but with few ingredients.
Linguine with Clam Sauce
When clams are on the menu, there’s nothing more iconic than linguine with white clam sauce. Redolent with garlic, white wine, red pepper flakes, and briny fresh clams, this classic checkered tablecloth staple never fails to satisfy even the most finicky eaters. Serve it with a chilled glass of whatever wine you used to build the sauce, and watch the food disappear.
Mediterranean Seafood Pasta
While salmon is not native to the Mediterranean, its flavors and health benefits make it a great choice for recipes from this region. Plum tomatoes are good year-round, provided they’re ripe, but during the summer when tomatoes are at their peak, choose whatever looks good.
Linguine with Shrimp Fra Diavolo
Fra Diavolo means “brother devil” in Italian and, as the name suggests, is a spicy, fiery-red sauce redolent of garlic and lots of crushed red pepper. Typically served with seafood, wild Alaskan spot shrimp, with their natural sweetness is a perfect match. The flavors are so rich and complex, there’s no need for cheese. (Please don’t!)
Creamy One-Pot Crab Pasta
How can something so simple and quick—with fewer than 10 ingredients—be so yummy? The trick is to cook the angel hair pasta in seafood stock which imparts flavor from the inside out, making this dish truly greater than the sum of its parts. Check out this seafood stock recipe and use up the crab shells.
Greek Orzo with Salmon, Feta, and Spinach
This Greek-inspired recipe is the perfect mash-up of spanakopita (spinach pie) and pasta salad. Sautéed ground salmon burger is tossed with orzo, spinach, feta, olives, tomatoes, and dill for a delicious and nutritious all-in-one meal. It works equally well with flaked leftover salmon, chopped salmon fillet, or even halibut burger.
Seafood Pasta with Artichokes, Olives and Capers
This simple seafood pasta recipe combines all the great flavors of the Mediterranean — olives, artichokes, capers, and lemon — with orecchiete (little ears in Italian) and is as perfect for al fresco dining in the summer as it is for a cozy wintertime dinner in front of the fireplace.
Crab Mac & Cheese
Comfort meets elegance in this yummy stove top mac and cheese made with Dungeness crab and three types of ooey gooey cheese. Serve it at your next dinner party and wait for the applause!
