Valentine's Weekend at Mama Mila's

Pro tips

• Add seafood to the pasta in stages by cooking time—hardy varieties first, delicate options last—to prevent overcooking.
• Use fresh seafood whenever possible and cook it just before combining with the rigatoni to maintain texture.
• Finish with fresh herbs like parsley to brighten the dish and add aromatic depth.

Substitutions

• Mixed seafood → single protein like shrimp or white fish (adjust cooking time accordingly)
• Rigatoni → linguine or spaghetti (pasta shape won't affect flavor, only presentation)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth to restore sauce consistency.
