Instructions
- Cook the linguine in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the white wine and bring it to a gentle simmer, allowing it to reduce for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the canned diced tomatoes to the skillet and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Introduce the cleaned clams to the skillet, cover, and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Discard any that do not open.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add the reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
- Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss everything together gently until the pasta is well-coated in the sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or some zest before serving.
- Feel free to substitute or add other seafood like mussels or squid.
- Make sure to clean the clams thoroughly before cooking to avoid sand in your dish.
