Your kids won’t even know that they’re eating whole-wheat pasta when you serve this. If they don’t like seafood just remove some sauce before you add the shrimp and scallops.

ingredients

2 quarts water
8 ounces dry whole wheat spaghetti
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
2 1/4 ounces sliced ripe olives
2 cups canned chopped tomatoes, undrained
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 pound scallops
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled

directions
