FAQ

Can I use frozen seafood?
Yes, thaw completely and pat dry before cooking to prevent excess water in the sauce.

Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
Yes, make the sauce and refrigerate, then reheat and toss with freshly cooked pasta and seafood before serving.

What pasta works best?
Rigatoni or penne holds the creamy sauce well, but fettuccine or linguine are good alternatives.
