Ingredients

For the Pasta & Seafood:

  • 1 lb (450g) linguine
  • 1 lb (450g) mussels, scrubbed and debearded
  • 1 lb (450g) clams, scrubbed
  • 1/2 lb (225g) shrimp, shelled and deveined
  • 1/2 lb (225g) calamari, cleaned and cut into rings

For the Sauce:

  • 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) dry white wine
  • 1 cup (240ml) cherry tomatoes, halved (or 1/2 cup crushed canned tomatoes)
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, adjust for spice preference)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Direction

. Prep the Ingredients:

  • Clean and prepare all shellfish. Ensure the mussels and clams are scrubbed well and any sand is removed.
  • Clean and cut the calamari into rings and devein the shrimp.
  • Mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley.

2. Cook the Linguine:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the linguine and cook until just al dente per the package instructions. Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water and drain the rest. Set the pasta aside.

3. Prepare the Seafood & Sauce Base:

  • In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté until fragrant but not browned.

4. Add the Shellfish:

  • Add the mussels, clams, shrimp, and calamari to the skillet.
  • Pour in the white wine and allow it to come to a simmer. This will steam the shellfish, allowing them to open and cook through.

5. Add the Tomatoes:

  • Stir in the cherry tomatoes or crushed canned tomatoes. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the shellfish are fully cooked and the tomatoes have broken down into a light sauce.
  • Discard any mussels or clams that haven’t opened.

6. Combine with the Linguine:

  • Add the cooked linguine to the skillet with the seafood and sauce mixture. Toss everything together gently, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a silky, cohesive sauce.

7. Season & Garnish:

  • Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
  • Add the freshly chopped parsley and toss once more.

8. Serve Immediately:

  • Divide the pasta and seafood mixture among bowls. Drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil if desired and serve hot.
