Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound linguine pasta
  • 1 pound mixed seafood (shrimp, mussels, clams, cleaned)
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 cup seafood or vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant; do not let the garlic brown.
  3. Add the shrimp, mussels, and clams to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp start to turn pink.
  4. Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in the diced tomatoes and broth. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the mussels and clams have opened. Discard any shellfish that do not open.
  6. Add the drained pasta and the reserved pasta water to the skillet with the seafood and sauce. Toss well to combine.
  7. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the fresh parsley. Serve immediately as an elegant seafood pasta for date night or a quick seafood pasta meal.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality lump crab meat with the other seafood.
  • If you prefer a tomato-based seafood pasta without cream, this light broth is ideal.
