Seafood Linguine With Pristiano Madrid Olive Oil and Tomatoes



Ingredients:
  • 1 lb linguine
  • 8 pcs medium-sized squid - cleaned, innards removed and cut into rings
  • 12 pcs. shrimps, peeled, deveined, and halved lengthwise
  • 12 pcs. mussels, cooked and shells removed
  • 1 14-oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 head garlic, minced
  • ½ cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped
  • 2 tsp celery salt
  • ½  tsp blackpepper
  • ½ cup finely shredded parmesan cheese for topping
  • 4 Tbsp Pristiano Madrid Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp salt for cooking pasta 
  • whole fresh parsley leaves for garnishing

Procedure:
1. Bring 3-4 quarts of water to a boil over medium-high heat, add 2 Tbsp salt and stir in the pasta. Cook until al dente, approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the pasta well.
* Remember  that the secret to a good pasta is to cook it in plenty of water to avoid sticking. Adding oil to the pasta water can prevent sticking, but pasta that's cooked in oily water will become oily itself and, as a result, won't absorb the sauce and you'll have a flavorless pasta.
2. In a large skillet, sauté garlic until light brown. 
3. Add shrimps, squid and mussels. Saute just until shrimps turn pink, about 3 minutes.
*  Be sure not to overcook the shrimps! Shrimps when overcooked will shrink and shrivel and will be all tough and stringy.
4. Add chopped parsley and tomatoes (including the juice from the can). Simmer for 5 minutes. Add celery salt and pepper. Mix well.
5. Add pasta. Toss just until the pasta is covered with the mixture. Remove from heat. Let sit for about 3 minutes to let the pasta absorb the sauce.
6. Divide into four equal servings. Sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese and garnish with parsley.
7. Serve and enjoy!

Nutritional Profile


Olives are a remarkable source of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients. Most prominent are two simple phenols (tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol) and several terpenes (especially oleuropein, erythrodiol, uvaol, oleanolic acid, elenoic acid and ligstroside). Flavonoids—including apigenin, luteolin, cyanidins, and peonidins)—are typically provided in valuable amounts by lives, as are hydroxycinnamic acids like caffeic acid, cinnamic acid, ferulic acid, and coumaric acid. The phytonutrient content of olives depends upon olive variety, stage of maturation, and post-harvest treatment. Olives are a very good source of copper amd a good source of iron, dietary fiber, and vitamin E.
