Ingredients

A good pinch saffron
1 glass white wine
Olive oil
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
1 pound dried tagliatelle
1 1/2 pounds (680 grams) mixed seafood (red mullet, scallops, clams, debearded mussels, squid)
1/2 pint double cream (heavy cream)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
A bunch flat parsley, chopped

Directions

Soak the saffron in the white wine. Add a little oil and the garlic to a frying pan, and cook until softened. Add the clams and mussels, shake the pan around, and add the white wine and saffron mixture. Bring to a boil and cook until the shellfish opens, discard any shellfish that remain closed.

Then, lay the rest of the seafood, parsley, and the cream on top. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes and season to taste. Cook the tagliatelle in salted, boiling water until al dente. Drain and add to the fish, serve scattered with some of the leftover parsley and an extra drizzle of olive oil.

GREAT, but....
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I will rate this 5 stars, because I want people to use the recipe, but I needed to tweak some things... First I substituted... dry sherry for the white wine... I prefer the taste, and is great with seafood.. Second there is no mention of reducing any of the liquid, which I had to do in order to thicken the sauce. First I reduced the sherry while boiling the shellfish, then reduced the cream later... which you really have to do, or its just too liquid-y. I also added the seafood in an order, not just all at once, because they cook at different speeds. Scallops should go in towards the end, or they will be too rubbery... You should let the pasta set and cool off before you serve it too, so it will all thicken together. Anyway, delicious! Even though my suggestions almost make another recipe altogether...Read more

This was overall good, except I added red pepper flakes - it needed some spice!
