Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350.

Cook the pasta for half the recommended cooking time; the pasta should still be very firm.

For sauce: In a skillet, cook the garlic in the butter and olive oil for a few minultes, and then pour in the wine. Allow this to reduce for a couple of minutes and then add in the tomatoes. Stir the mixture together, season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes, and allow to cook for 10 minutes.

For seafood: In a separate skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Sear the scallops, then the shrimp, until they're nice and black/brown.

Mix the drained pasta with the sauce and pour into a baking dish. Arrange the sauteed seafood on top. Tightly cover dish with foil.

Bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and keep warm until serving.

To serve: Remove foil. Drizzle warm cream over top and sprinkle with torn basil and parsley.
