  1. 1

    Heat crushed garlic and oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until the garlic starts to sizzle, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes with juice, red pepper flakes, oregano, basil, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine in the boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain and keep warm.

  3. 3

    While the linguine is cooking, heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Stir in shrimp and scallops and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp turn pink, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  4. 4

    Stir shrimp, scallops, mussels, and parsley into the tomato mixture; cook until the sauce begins to bubble and the mussels open, about 7 minutes. Pour the sauce over the linguine and serve.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
