Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (1/4 cup, chopped)
- Ripe tomatoes (2 cups, diced)
- Dry white wine (1/2 cup)
- Fresh clams (1 pound, scrubbed)
- Scallops (1 pound)
- Large shrimp (1 pound, peeled and deveined)
- Red pepper flakes (1 teaspoon)
- Garlic (4 cloves, minced)
- Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
- Linguine (12 ounces)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine 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, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Carefully add the shrimp, scallops, and clams to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and the clams have opened. Discard any clams that do not open.
- Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook until they soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to combine. If needed, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to help the sauce adhere to the pasta. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with the chopped parsley before serving.
