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

- Large shrimp
- 1 pound, peeled and deveined
- Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon
- Garlic
- 4 cloves, minced
- Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons

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.
Tips
- For a creamier sauce, consider adding a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of mascarpone cheese just before serving.
- Feel free to substitute the seafood with your favorites such as mussels or squid for a different flavor profile.
- Pair this dish with a crisp green salad and a glass of chilled white wine for a complete dining experience.
