Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

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
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
12 mussels, cleaned

Steps:

  • Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large serving bowl. Add the butter and parsley and toss until coated. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Sauce: In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic. Add the wine and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in the broth, red pepper flakes, clams and mussels. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook until all the shellfish have opened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Discard any unopened shellfish.
  • Using tongs, remove the shellfish from the pan and reserve. Season the cooking liquid with 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pour the shellfish cooking liquid over the pasta and toss well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the reserved shellfish on top of the pasta and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood. Fresh mussels and clams will have a briny, sweet flavor that will shine through in the dish. Avoid seafood that is frozen or has been previously cooked.
  • Clean the seafood properly. Mussels and clams should be scrubbed clean to remove any dirt or grit. Be sure to remove the beards from the mussels.
  • Cook the seafood until it is just cooked through. Overcooked seafood will be tough and chewy. Mussels and clams should be cooked until they open, and shrimp should be cooked until it is pink and opaque.
  • Use a good quality pesto. A good pesto will make all the difference in this dish. Look for a pesto that is made with fresh basil, olive oil, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the seafood, be sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the seafood from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the dish immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The seafood will be at its best when it is hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Tagliatelle with mussels, clams, and pesto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. The briny, sweet flavor of the seafood pairs perfectly with the creamy pesto sauce, and the tagliatelle noodles provide a hearty base for the dish. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish at home and impress your friends and family.
