This ever-popular Italian American restaurant classic consists of an abundant amount of mixed seafood and pasta tossed in a rich, spicy tomato sauce. To make the recipe doable at home, we turned to a method from a one-pot recipe-known as pasta risottata.

    Pro tip: If you want to avoid further splatter (or more precisely squirting), cut the tomatoes a couple of times with the side of your masher before mashing them so there's a path for the juice to get out before the pressure builds

    We used linguini and nearly scorched the sauce; had to add water. It needed much more time than the box / vidio indicated and will likely cook it separately next time for more control. To be fair, I did use my own homegrown tomato sauce, perhaps it was not as juicy as canned tomatoes, but delicious. (Also opted to use less spice.)

    Fra Diavolo (lit. Brother Devil; 7 April 1771-11 November 1806), is the popular name given to Michele Pezza, a famous Neapolitan guerrilla leader who resisted the French occupation of Naples, proving an “inspirational practitioner of popular insurrection”.Pezza figures prominently in folk lore and fiction. He appears in several works of Alexandre Dumas, including The Last Cavalier: Being the Adventures of Count Sainte-hermine in the Age of Napoleon, not published until 2007 and in Washington Irving's short story "The Inn at Terracina". Correction Appended LOBSTER or Shrimps FRA DIAVOLO, lobster in a spicy tomato sauce with linguine, "brother devil" style, sounds Italian, tastes Italian and is a staple in Italian restaurants. But is it Italian? "Oh, dear," sighed Anna Teresa Callen, the Italian-born cookbook author and cooking teacher, when asked about it. "It's not an Italian dish. It's really another Italian-American invention. I have never seen it in Italy, and I suspect that it came from Long Island." Like Mrs. Callen, many authorities on Italian cooking are not on the side of the devil. Tony May, the owner of San Domenico, who is from Naples, said lobster fra diavolo was not from his hometown. "It's like the lemon peel with the coffee, he continued. "I first heard of it when I came to New York in 1963. I think there was a restaurant in midtown called Fra Diavolo that started it. Or maybe the restaurant was Vesuvio." Giuliano Bugialli, another cookbook author and cooking teacher, said it was invented in New York. "We don't even have American lobsters in Italy," he added. "And a heavy tomato sauce with hot peppers, seafood and pasta all in one dish is not Italian cooking. I think it came from a restaurant that was Others trace its origins to Little Italy. Victor Hazan, the wine expert, said he remembered first eating lobster fra diavolo at the Grotta Azzurra restaurant in Little Italy in 1940. His wife, Marcella, the cookbook author and teacher, added: "You brought me to that restaurant. I remember the dish clearly because it was so heavy and typical of Italian cooking in America. We don't eat like that in Italy."

    Do not ever add that much red pepper- Dish Destroyed and remember heated in oil- stronger (more voluminous) will result in different profile than water-dominant based base. You can add more later. Max for this dish would be 1 T. Also calabrian chili would be a nice add and sub 2 tablespoons fresh marjoram leaves for oregano. Best

    I imagine you can make this recipe without any chile flakes and replace the cherry peppers for a sweet pickled pepper or I guess even olives might work well. Now, if you can't even handle the spiciness of the garlic, you might want to add it after you add the wine instead of sauteeing it with the anchovies since an acid enviroment reduces the formation of the chemical that gives garlic its heat

Why buy expensive, prob $30+ USD a pound premium Dry Sea Scallops & fresh Mussels, likely P.E.I., and use "Bottled Clam Juice" instead of a dozen fresh Little Neck Clams?. The final insult & sacrilege is boiling the pasta in the sauce in lieu of a separate pot of liberally salted, rapidly boiling water in classic fashion. Boiling pasta in the sauce guarantees an inferior, gummy, Chef-Boy-Ardee like texture,flavor profile and consistency,imo. Def a "One Pot Blunder" and not wonder.
