    Even though I vastly simplified, it was still excellent flavor. The sauteed cherry tomatoes crushed with garlic and wine is just delicious. I omitted the fennel, pistachios, and clams to simplify - and added a little clam juice to the sauce to make up for the clam flavor.

    I used grape tomatoes, as they looked best this time of year. For the seafood, I used a 1 lb bag of small frozen mixed shellfish (shrimp, bay scallops, squid). I used a whole pound of spaghetti and added a pound of frozen haricots verts with the seafood for a one-dish meal - it made a ton. My son doesn't like things too spicy, so I reduced the red pepper flakes by half - he still complained, but I enjoyed the slight kick of spice. My husband and I loved this with both the chopped pistachios and some pecorino on top, our son not so much.
