Yield Makes 2 servings; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 littleneck clams, scrubbed
12 mussels, scrubbed, debearded
1 cup dry white wine
8 ounces tagliatelle or linguine
6 tablespoons purchased pesto
1/4 cup sliced drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper

Steps:

  • Combine clams, mussels and wine in heavy large pot; bring to boil over medium-high heat. Cover pot; cook until shellfish open, about 7 minutes (discard any that do not open). Using tongs, transfer shellfish to bowl; cover with foil to keep warm. Reserve shellfish juices.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in medium pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite.
  • Drain pasta; return to same pot. Add reserved shellfish juices, pesto, sun-dried tomatoes and crushed red pepper. Toss over medium heat just until sauce coats pasta. Season with salt and pepper. Divide pasta between 2 bowls; top with shellfish and serve.

Overall, I thought this recipe was good, but not great. I would probably make it again, but I would make some changes to the sauce and the type of seafood I used.

I had some trouble finding fresh mussels and clams at my local grocery store. I ended up using frozen seafood, which worked out fine, but I think the dish would have been even better with fresh seafood.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think it would be better if you used less salt in the pesto sauce and in the cooking water for the pasta.

I wasn't a fan of the pesto sauce in this recipe. I found it to be a bit too overpowering for the delicate flavor of the seafood. I would recommend using a lighter sauce, such as a white wine sauce or a simple butter sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this dish. The pesto sauce was so flavorful that it masked the fishy taste of the mussels and clams. I would definitely make this again.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat seafood. My kids loved the combination of the briny seafood and the creamy pesto sauce. They even asked for seconds!

I love how quick and easy this recipe is to make. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner when I don't have a lot of time to cook. The pesto sauce is especially convenient because I can make a big batch ahead of time and then use it throughout the week.
