Notes

  • Wine Option: This recipe is wine-free, but you can add 1/4 cup of dry red or white wine after sautéing the onions and garlic. Let it reduce by half before adding the tomatoes.
  • Seafood Options: Use any combination of seafood you like. Scallops, clams, or mussels all work well.
  • Add Heat: For extra spice, stir in a small pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Make More: Double the recipe if needed—just use a larger pot and double all ingredients.
  • Storage: Store in the fridge, covered, for up to 4 days. Reheat in a saucepan or microwave until hot.
