About

This incredibly versatile seafood pasta packs in all the flavor. Frutti di mare literally translates to “fruits of the sea,” so feel free to mix up the combination of seafood for your Feast of the Seven Fishes. Nonna Romana loves to serve this with cavatelli, as the little “cave” shape of the pasta perfectly absorbs the sauce.
