A delicious Italian pasta! The tomato sauce in just a genuine, ripe tomatoes, simmer for a long time, almost the whole day. We have chosen a slightly different pasta varieties that really soaks up the rich tomato sauce and highlighting the fine seafood. Pasta topped with prawns, mussels and freshly cut parsley. A beautiful and tasty dish for the discerning Italian Lover! The photo was taken using studio strobes, main light from behind. Using a white plate on a white table, the red napkin to add some color. A close up side view to reveal the details of the mussels and scampi and the texture of the pasta.
