Seafood spaghetti baked in paper (spaghetti al cartoccio)


Baking
This is quite an ingenious dish: You can prepare these little paper packages earlier in the day and simply bake them right before serving. If you can't find the exact shellfish typical of the Mediterranean, don't worry. Ask your trusted fishmonger for some advice on what is good and in season and substitute as you please. Linguine and short pasta shapes also work well in place of spaghetti. <br /> <br />I like to leave the shells on for visual effect, but feel free to remove them in advance if you like. You can either make individually wrapped pastas (my preference) or make one large one. Simply place a couple of large sheets of foil in a suitably sized baking or casserole dish and fold the foil over to close and seal in the steam.
