Cooking! La Pasta Marinara :)

One thing I like to do is cook! I served my mission in Rome, Italy, so I learned a thing or two about pasta. This particular pasta was shown to me by a friend in the city of Ostia. It is a small city by the ocean, so the sea food is super fresh! Because I am landlocked, all my sea food comes frozen unfortunately... So it is not as good, but we live with what we've got :)
I made this pasta from a recipe I kind of followed on allrecipes.com (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/seafood-marinara-pasta/). I didn't follow it exactly because I didn't have all the ingredients. You can look at the website for the specific amounts, but I will just say what I used. I used spaghetti, half a yellow onion, garlic, can of diced tomatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, ground thyme, shrimp, and muscles. It was good, but I would have added a bit more olive oil and used some ground red peppers to spice it up a bit. Anyways, it was good. Naomi liked it. I was just using stuff I wanted to use up from the freezer.
