An easy and great tasting recipe. If you like the flavor of paella, you'll love this pasta. I've made this as well as true paella, and I think my family likes this better. Elegant enough to serve with company, but easy and kid friendly enough to have any week night. Give it a shot!

Directions

  1. Pour olive oil into an 11- to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat. Break pasta into 3- to 4-inch lengths and drop into oil; stir often until golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and turmeric; stir until onion is translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Stir in broth and tomatoes, including juice; cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Spread mixture level. Evenly distribute artichoke hearts and clams, if using, over pasta. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 5 minutes. Evenly distribute shrimp, fish, and peas over pasta. Cover and cook until mussels have opened and fish is barely opaque in center of thickest part, 5 to 8 minutes longer.
  3. Uncover and cook until pasta has absorbed most of the liquid and is beginning to brown on the bottom, 2 to 4 minutes. Add salt to taste. Garnish with lemon wedges to squeeze over seafood.
  4. Serve warm from pan.

    This is a really outstanding dish. I'm typically not a big fan of taking traditionally dishes like Paella and redoing them as a pasta dish. But the flavors just go SO well in this one. It is outstanding. We serve it with Barilla Plus pasta, which has a mix of really healthy ingredients like whole grains, chickpeas, lentils, and more. It turns a guilty pleasure into a very healthy dish...and still tastes amazing. (Barilla did NOT sponsor me to say that. :-) )
    I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

        This really sounds delicious, John, and I love dishes that are quick to prepare and include bot meats and vegetables. I'll have to try this one soon!
