Mussels Fra Diavolo with Roasted Garlic from 'The Catch'

Mussels are pretty much my default shellfish. They're easy to cook, easy to eat, and taste of little more than the sweet, briny ocean. In Ben Sargent's Mussels Fra Diavolo from his new cookbook, The Catch, the usual diavolo players (chile flakes, tomatoes, white wine) are present, but it's the uncommon addition of roasted garlic that makes the dish memorable.

Spaghetti allo Scoglio (Spaghetti With Mixed Seafood)

Bucatini Fra Diavolo from 'Franny's'

I have a habit of tossing huge pinches of red pepper flakes into all pasta dishes that cross my stove, so I was immediately drawn to the Bucatini Fra Diavolo in the new Franny's cookbook. Andrew Feinberg, Francine Stephens, and Melissa Clark's recipe takes this classically spicy tomato sauce and freshens it up with close to a full cup of fresh herbs.
