I came up with this combination one year for a New Year's Eve party. The pink and black colors make it a very festive dish--almost "confetti-like." We're using a combination of two flavored fettuccines--one is black (squid) and one is pink (salmon). The sauce is a spicy pink vodka sauce, topped with lobster claws, lobster tails, shrimps and Alaskan king crab legs and some peas for garnish.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4-5 minced garlic cloves
- 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 28-oz can crushed Italian plum tomatoes
- 1 28-oz can tomato puree
- 1/2 c. vodka
- 3/4 c. light cream
- 1/2 c. cut fresh parsley
- 1 lb. jumbo shrimp
- 2 1- 1 1/2-lb. lobsters
- 2-4 crab legs â steamed and cooked
- l lb. black fettuccini or linguini
- 1 lb. salmon fettuccini or linguini (home-made or store bough or use plain)
- 1 cup cooked peas (from frozen or fresh)
Directions
- Make Sauce: Combine oil, garlic, crushed red pepper and cook until garlic is golden. Add tomatoes and puree. Mix together and cook for about ½ hour. Then add vodka and cream and heat. Add lobster first then shrimp and cook until done (about 4 & 3 minutes).
- Make Pastas. Cook both pastas in separate pots, until al dente'. Also, cook crab legs separately in boiling water until heated through. Drain pastas and combine on plate; top with sauce & lobster & shrimp and crab legs. Garnish with parsley and peas.
- As a variation, could also add scallops / clams.
- If salmon fettuccini cannot be found, then plain fettuccini could work here, but it is important to keep the black fettuccini as the base
