How to Make One-Pot Seafood Fra Diavolo
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.

I agree. Personally, it's music and food. They go together for me!
Oh my goodness, that looks amazing 👏. A must try for me. Thank you very much 😊
Absolutely beautiful. Wonderfully done.
I am seriously going to make this! Thanks
Oh my that looks delicious 😋
I was wondering what I was going to do with my huge bag of frozen mixed seafood, now I know. I love that it's a one pot recipe. Thanks to ATK for all your insights. JD
I cant wait to make this ladies!!!! Thank you
Looks Great !!
this looks so very good
Most outstanding!!!
Fantastic dish. I used 2 cans of clams (instead of clam juice) to add extra seafood, and I used dry sherry. My family all loved it!
Instead of anchovies, you can also use fish sauce if you have it in your pantry. It's literally just an anchovy extract.

For me, this turned out to be a great spicy one pan dish...The seafood (lobster tail, shrimp, mussels, scallops & calamari) was perfectly done and the pasta was just a tad al dente, which is how I like it. Thanks

Anchovies! Italian MSG

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

Should you filter the mussels cooking juices and sauce in case the mussels are sandy?

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."
This is another (non-spicy) seafood pasta recipe from ATK - kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z4yao5Sxd5fRj9Y.html I love BOTH! 😋
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 would cook the mussels in the end because they usually fall off their shells during cooking and gets overcooked and inedible.
She’s taking out the mussels one at a time??😂
OMGØD! Scallops and shrimp ARE shellfish!!!
Excellent video. My fear/concern are the mussel. Costco is the only place that I know of to purchase them. They're sold in a huge bushel. I don't know if they're still alive or dead. I fear risking cooking dead mussels and jeopardizing my families health.

Thats why you tap them. If they move they are alive. If they are cracked or broken throw them away. If they are closed after cooking, throw them away.

Any alternatives to the muscles? I would rather not have to deal with shells.

I have seen mussel meat ( no shells) in the store frozen near the seafood dept. I have never used them but there must be instructions on the package on how to cook them.
Why does she keep saying, “skahlups”?? Those are scallops!

Did she say "same difference" ?
1 pot. A bunch of bowls. 🙂
I'd put in clams. Actually, this is more like a chiopino.

That’s a “POT”, not a “pan” (as in the video’s title)!
How did I not know mussels were cooked alive? 😭 Won't be making this myself -- probably won't eat it anymore either. Thank you for sharing though, was one of my favorite pasta dishes. 😞
What do you think they are going to say when they cooked it and it’s good bullshit?
I know it's hypocritical to be bothered by the mussels squeaking when I eat meat, but something about that whole thing and that they're retracting when tapped, still alive-- I dunno, so torturous to me.

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 is bad to cook dead shellfish? We cook dead cephalopods like octopus and squid, and those are relatives of mussels and clams. For that matter, we cook dead scallops, another shellfish!

@@rickalarcon7988 This is not why. Cooking dead or alive makes no difference to sand content? We cook them alive because shellfish flesh contains bacteria that starts multiplying very rapidly right after death, so they need to be killed in or immediately prior to an environment that stops the growth (like a pot of boiling water.)

Ah,NO. I have been following ATK from the Christopher Kimball days. 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.
This is the most unfortunate pronunciation of scallops I've ever heard
Starch and seafood is a no no for me

Dry scallops are more important if you sear them. For a wet dish like this, it doesn't matter so much as long as they taste good.
Mussels scare me. They look so unappealing!
Raw pasta in the sauce clearly you’re not Italian in Italy they would put you in prison
Zzzzzzzzzzzz........
Sorry, Cooks Country, no self respecting Italian cook would cook the pasta in the sauce and omg all the oregano you used, I want to gag.
That is not how you make this classic seafood dish!!!!!!
