Ingredients

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
tablespoons chopped shallots
1/2 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 pound ziti
1/2 pound broccoli flowerettes, cut into bite-size pieces, about 3 1/2 cups
1 pound monkfish or sea scallops
3/4 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley

Steps:

Heat 1/4 cup oil in a skillet and add onion, shallots and garlic. Cook, stirring, about 3 minutes without browning. Add wine, tomatoes, tarr-agon, pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
Bring sauce to boil; add cream and stir.
Meanwhile, bring 10 cups of water to boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Add broccoli and when the water returns to a boil cook about 4 minutes. Scoop out and reserve about 2/3 cup water.
As pasta and broccoli cook, cut monkfish into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Or, if sea scallops are used and they are very large, cut in half. Add remaining tablespoon of oil to a large skillet and add monkfish or scallops. Cook briefly, stirring, about 1 minute and add sauce. Cook about 3 minutes and add shrimp. Cook about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Drain pasta and broccoli and add them to sauce. Add reserved Y cup water. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
