Bucatini di pesce
Ingredients:
1 lb bucatini (or linguine)
½ cup extra virgin olive oil (to
cover the skillet about ¼ inch)
1 tbsp. minced garlic
1 bunch scallions, sliced (8-10
stalks, white to light green)
½ green bell pepper julienne
sliced, about 1 in. long &
½ red (or orange, yellow) bell
pepper, cut the same
1 large tomato, seeded &
diced
Mix: 1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
½ tsp. dried parsley
½ tsp. dried red pepper
1 can chopped clams (4-5 oz.)
1 can white clam sauce
Prepare ahead in separate
bowls:
6 6” calamari, about 6 inches
long, cleaned & cut into rings
(tentacles optional)
15-20 shrimp, (30-count)
cleaned & deveined
1 lb. sea scallops
1 lb. bay scallops
Large clams
2 lbs. littleneck clams
1 bag mussels, bearded &
cleaned
Utensils:
Large skillet with lid; splatter
screen; pasta fork; pasta pot
with built in colander preferred;
steamer pots for clams &
mussels; and a good size clay
serving bowl.
Preparation:
This goes real fast: heat the
pasta pot & steamers. Start
the large clams going at once.
In the skillet heat the oil on
high then add the garlic. Use
the screen to protect yourself.
As soon as the garlic begins
to brown, add the calamari.
Toss evenly and cook for 20
seconds. Turn the oil down
a little and add the scallions.
Mix for 15 seconds and add
the peppers. As soon as the
peppers wilt a little, add the
tomato. Mix evenly with the
pasta fork then immediately
add the spices. Add the shrimp
to the mix, covering them
evenly in the skillet for 15 more
seconds. Add the sea scallops.
Wait 15 seconds, then the bay
scallops, spread them evenly.
Add the chopped clams and
pour the white clam sauce
into the mix & cover on a low
flame. Start the littlenecks and
mussels in the steamer. Start
the pasta. Get the camera.
Put the filled colander in the
serving bowl & pour the hot
water over it so as to fill the
dish to keep warm. Toss the
water & add pasta to bowl.
Decoratively arrange the
shellfish all around the bowl,
symmetrically. Pour the Zuppa
(sauce) over the shellfish.

THREE-DAY
COCONUT CAKE
Ingredients:
1 yellow or lemon cake mix (2
cake mixes if you plan to make
4 layers)
Icing
16 oz. sour cream
2 cups sugar
1 12 oz. bag or can coconut
½ tsp. vanilla
Large container of Cool Whip
Bake cake in two round pans,
cool and cut into four layers
with an electric knife or dental
floss works great.
Mix sour cream, sugar, coconut
(leaving some coconut out to
sprinkle on top of cake), and
vanilla. Spread between layers
of cake, saving 1 cup for icing
of cake.
Add leftover mixture to cool
whip and spread on top and
sides of cake. Sprinkle with
leftover coconut. Add cherries
on top and mint leaves for
decorations or strawberries.
Refrigerate for three days.
The longer it’s refrigerated,
the moister it gets.
