This is possibly my most favorite food. It is spicy, succulent, and comforting - down to the very last linguine noodle! I've had many versions of this, and sometimes leave out the mussels, since I don't always like their taste/texture. You can also find canned clams, but you should really wash them thoroughly, as they will be very salty! Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, sliced, to taste |
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes, to taste |
1/2 cup dry white wine |
12 littleneck clams |
10 ounces linguine |
3/4 cup tomato sauce |
12 black mussels (optional) |
8 shrimp, shelled (tail intact) |
4 sea scallops, quartered |
5 ounces calamari, cut into thin rings |
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, coarsely chopped |
Directions:
1. Boil water in a large pot.
2. Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat, and sauté garlic until it sizzles.
3. Add red pepper flakes to taste; cook 1 minute.
4. Add wine and clams (in shell or from can, after rinsing); cover. Increase heat to med-high; cook 5 minutes.
5. Now it's time to boil the linguine! Cook until al dente. Uncover sauté pan; simmer 1 minute more.
6. Add tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Add shrimp, calamari, scallops, and mussels (if using). Cook, stirring, until clams and mussels open, about 3 minutes. Toss with linguine. Add parsley; toss.
8. Serve very hot!
