Scialatielli alla Pescatora is a traditional Italian pasta dish from the Campania region, typically made with a homemade pasta called scialatielli and a seafood sauce. The dish is made with a variety of seafood, such as squid, shrimp, and scallops, simmered in a tomato sauce with garlic, olive oil, and white wine. It is a flavorful and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1 can of diced tomatoes
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the scialatielli pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the seafood and cook until it starts to turn pink.
4. Pour in the white wine and cook until the wine is reduced by half.
