Seafood and pasta naturally go together, in my humble opinion…just like chocolate and peanut butter, peas and carrots, pizza and beer! These recipes come together in under 30 minutes, making them a quick and delicious dinner option you can make after a long day at the beach.
Start with the freshest seafood and pasta of your choice. Add a few simple ingredients. Serve on a beautiful platter with crusty bread and, only if you prefer (I’m smiling), a nice bottle of wine.
Need a little ambiance? Bring your seafood and pasta dinner out to the deck to enjoy at sunset or in the glow of hurricane lanterns.

Seafood Lasagna
I’ve been a subscriber of

Farah, blogger at
thecookingjar is about making everyday food with everyday ingredients. It’s all about simplicity and freshness. Her
Light Lemon Garlic Pasta with Salmon is made with fresh basil, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, capers and salmon. It’s like
summer on a plate!
This is just a sampling of ideas to combine seafood with pasta for a quick meal, summer or any time of the year. During the summer growing season I harvest bunches of fresh basil to make pesto for fish. Either make your own or try to purchase from a farm stand. Spread the fresh pesto over fish and bake. It’s so delicious on salmon.
Enjoy!
