Last night we had the best seafood pasta I have ever had. My mother-in-law used Giada de Laurentis' Spicy Linguine with Clams recipe and it was good enough to make me wish I lived on the beach all year long. Here are the ingredients with our adaptations:
- 1 pound linguine pasta
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large or 4 small shallots, sliced (The store was out of shallots so we improvised with a white onion)
- Kosher salt, for seasoning, plus 2 teaspoons
- Freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning, plus 1 teaspoon
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup white wine (recommended: Pinot Grigio)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 12 littleneck clams, cleaned (For the 6 of us, we cooked 36 clams)
- 12 mussels, cleaned (We didn't add mussels, but I'd love to try this in the future!)
You can find the full recipe here. Even without fresh clams, the spicy linguine should be a summer staple. I can't wait to try this out again back home for our friends!

ReplyDeleteJenna - no, I wish! I found the picture on another blog with the same Giada recipe (source at the bottom).
