Fettuccine ai Frutti di Mare, a classic Italian seafood pasta dish, has a rich history dating back to the coastal regions of Italy. The dish originated in the southern regions of Italy, particularly in Naples and Sicily, where fresh seafood is abundant. Renowned chefs like Gennaro Contaldo and Lidia Bastianich have popularized this dish, infusing it with their own unique twists. The key to a perfect Fettuccine ai Frutti di Mare lies in the freshness of the seafood, which typically includes a mix of shrimp, mussels, clams, and calamari, all simmered in a flavorful tomato-based sauce. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in authentic Italian trattorias along the Amalfi Coast and in Sicilian seaside towns. For a twist, some chefs substitute the traditional fettuccine with squid ink pasta, adding a briny depth to the dish. Whether enjoyed in a rustic coastal eatery or a fine dining restaurant, Fettuccine ai Frutti di Mare is a true celebration of the sea's bounty.
