Looking great so far everyone. I was worried when I saw your teaser Mel, as I am doing Seafood pasta as well, but they will be very different. Yours looks terrific. I love mussels, but I'm not using them this time. I'm thinking I should have saved my lasagne for today. 
Oh well, I'll give it the old college try anyway.

Glad I went with the lasagna since ya'll were thinking seafood. That was actually my first choice...fruitti de mare. Don't think it would stack up against mels though. Those prawns and mussels look killer! HB &R!!
Ahh the pasta throwdown! Well i was out of town last month but I am home right now, and most of my holiday preparations are done, and i have little if any work to do on this special day. What better way to spend the afternoon than participating in this throwdown....I am off to the store..... FRA(talli) DIAVOLO anyone!
Hmmph. Where all da' entries at?
Damn guys, they all look good, so far I think TB is the one that strikes my cord. I love Italian dishes. I filmed a video of my exploits because that would be for posting on my website down the line. I will have video and a final pic in a few hours. I actually made 2 different chicken pasta salads- one Indian-Portuguese style and the other Asian style. Anyway, it won't win, but they do taste good.
Alright here it is.....FRA-talli DIAVOLO. The sauce is a saute of olive oil, garlic, onion and bell pepper...then I added chopped tomatoes, brown sugar, and fatalli puree (Thanks AJ) and some coarse sea salt and red pepper. While this simmered I sauteed some garlic and olive oil with the scallops and seasoned with a blend of sea salt, bhut powder and white pepper..... the result:
ENJOY!!!
ENJOY!!!
MY GOODNESS!!! Mel's looks delicious. I am a sucker for any and all shellfish...epspecially when kicked up with the heat....and gasificada's just looks right out DECADENT!!!!!
