Fact: Pasta makes everything better. This is especially true with seafood—we love that briny, fishy-in-the-best-way taste paired with some kind of noodle. Here are some truly great seafood pasta recipes we love.

    BA's Best Linguine and Clams

    Clams vary in brininess and the amount of liquid they’ll release during cooking, so you’ll need to adjust the salt and add pasta water accordingly. To prevent the sauce from getting too salty, we recommend a measured amount of salt for the pasta water. If possible, look for an artisanal dried pasta for this recipe—the rougher surface texture will catch the slippery sauce better.

    Linguine With Anchovies and Tuna

    Olive oil–packed tuna can get pricey; we also recommend using deboned canned sardines for this pasta recipe.

    Anchovy Pasta With Garlic Breadcrumbs

    This is one of our go-to anchovy recipes for a reason. This humble Italian pasta dish starts in the pantry with staples like olive oil, anchovies, garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, and both lemon zest and juice, then becomes a show-stopper thanks to the crunchy breadcrumbs.

    Spicy Lobster Pasta

    There’s something special about lobster you’ve prepared yourself, but if cooking one on a weeknight isn’t your speed, buy cooked lobster or shrimp instead.
