Fra Diavolo Sauce With Pasta

Very spicy italian dish with Pasta. Had no idea how popular it would be. I was longing for it days after it was gone, and the kids devoured all of the pasta and most of the sauce even though we doubled the recipe. We had to make yet more pasta for those who wanted more.

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
6 cloves garlic, crushed
3 cups whole peeled tomatoes with liquid, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
8 ounces small shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 ounces bay scallops
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil with the garlic over medium heat. When the garlic starts to sizzle, pour in the tomatoes. Season with salt and red pepper. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.

In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over high heat. Add the shrimp and scallops.

Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the shrimp turn pink. Add shrimp and scallops to the tomato mixture, and stir in the parsley. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the sauce just begins to bubble.

Serve sauce over pasta.
