Spaghetti allo scoglio senza scoglio

The most classic of the pasta fish dishes: Spaghetti allo Scoglio, but revisited by chef Matteo Casadio. The sauce is always full of seafood and shellfish, but everything is shelled, so at the table we must not make “work” will be dirtying our guests.

Ingredients for 4 people:
440 g of semolina spaghetti alla chitarra (Home made spaghetti)
160 g fresh clams
120 g fresh mussels
100 g shrimp
450 g lobster
120 g shrimp
200 g fresh tomatoes
2 cloves garlic
extra virgin olive oil
15 ml cognac
20 ml dry white wine

basil

Blanch for 40 seconds the lobster in boiling water, cool and with the help of strong scissors, remove all the pulp.

Clean scampi and shrimp, make an incision along the back and remove the intestine

Switch-fry all the shells of crustaceans, sprinkle with cognac add a ladle of water, crush it with a meat mallet to extract all the juice, then strain.
