Mussels and Clams over shell pasta Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by DebCooks

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb shell pasta
1 lb broccoli, cut into florets
1/4 c olive oil
3 garlic clovers, minced
1/8 teas red pepper flakes
1/2 teas kosher salt
1/4 teas freshly ground pepper
2 lbs small little neck clams, scrubbed
2 lbs mussels, debearded
1 c white wine
1/3 c chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 6 minutes. Add the broccoli into the pasta water and continue cooking until the pasta is tender but firm to the bite and broccoli is blanched about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the pasta and broccoli, reserving 1 c of the cooking liquid. Meanwhile in a large heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper and saute for 3 minutes. Add the clams, mussels and wine. Cook for 5 minutes, making sure all the shells have opened. Discard any shells that have not opened. I covered the pan and the steam opened all of them. Sprinkle with parsley. In a large bowl, toss the pasta, broccoli and shellfish. Add the reserved pasta water 1/4c at a time to moisten. I only used 1/4 c of the water. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover seafood. I usually make it with shrimp and scallops, but it would also be good with mussels and clams.
