My absolute favorite way to eat seafood is with pasta, it’s a match made in heaven with a great balance of delicate flavors. This recipe includes mussels and lobster claws & arms cooked in a flavorful broth over garlic, onion fettuccini. It doesn’t take long to cook and it tastes so good!

I’ve included dairy-free options for making the sauce, replacing butter with olive oil and parmesan and heavy whipping cream with vegan equivalent products. This recipe would also go great with squid, shrimp, tuna, salmon, scallops, or clams if you don’t have mussels or lobster off-the-shelf. 

Let me know in the comments below if you tried the recipe and if you have any variations you’d like to share! 🙂
