Seafood Marinara Spaghetti Recipe

I never really fancy bottled pasta sauces that much because they are often flat in texture (I like my sauce with bits and chunks) and contain way too much sodium. For my Seafood Marinara Spaghetti Recipe, I use diced tomatoes with no salt to create the sauce base and then just season it with enough salt to taste. I also added dried basil before I simmer the sauce so it can infuse the sauce with added sweetness and aroma. Do take note not to overcook the seafood so they can maintain their crisp and crunch. Enjoy!
