Ingredients:

  • 12 ounces linguine pasta
  • 1 pound mixed seafood (shrimp, mussels, clams, and/or scallops)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Method:

  1. Cook the Linguine:
    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Seafood:
    • If using mussels and clams, make sure they are cleaned and any beards removed. Discard any mussels or clams that are open or damaged.
    • If using large shrimp, peel and devein them.
    • Pat the seafood dry with paper towels.
  3. Sauté the Garlic:
    • In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic brown.
  4. Cook the Seafood:
    • Add the seafood to the pan and sauté for a few minutes until the shrimp turn pink and the mussels and clams begin to open.
  5. Deglaze with White Wine:
    • Pour in the white wine and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce and intensify the flavors.
  6. Add Tomatoes and Herbs:
    • Stir in the diced tomatoes and some of the chopped basil and parsley. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes or until the seafood is fully cooked and the shellfish have opened. Discard any shellfish that don't open.
  7. Season and Toss:
    • Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep in mind that seafood can be naturally salty, so be careful with the salt.
    • Add the cooked linguine to the pan and toss everything together to combine. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a little pasta cooking water to thin it out.
  8. Serve:
    • Garnish the seafood linguine with the remaining fresh basil and parsley.
    • Optionally, serve with grated Parmesan cheese on the side.
Enjoy your homemade seafood linguine! You can adjust the ingredients and seasonings to your preference, and feel free to add other seafood items like squid or crab if you like.
