Spaghetti
with Mussels, Clams and Shrimp
Food and Wine Archives
Wine Recommendation: A
citrusy, sharp dry white would offer a welcome contrast to the briny
mussels and clams. Look for an Italian Pinot Grigio, such as the 1996
Formentini or the 1996 Pighin.
Servings: 4 to 6
Ingredients:
1/4
cup dry white wine
2
dozen mussels, scrubbed
2
dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed
3
tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8
garlic cloves, minced
1/2
teaspoon crushed red pepper
1
1/2 pints cherry tomatoes (1 1/2 pounds), halved
1
pound spaghetti
1/4
pound medium shrimp--shelled, deveined and halved crosswise
Salt
and freshly ground black pepper
2
tablespoons chopped parsley
1.
Bring the wine to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the mussels, cover and
cook over high heat until they open, about 2 minutes. Using tongs,
transfer the mussels to a bowl. Add the clams to the saucepan, cover and
cook until they start to open. Transfer them to the bowl with the mussels.
Pour the cooking liquid into a small glass measure, leaving behind any
grit. Shell the mussels and clams and
return them to the bowl.
2.
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan. Add the garlic and cook over low
heat until golden, about 3 minutes. Add the red pepper and half of the
cherry tomatoes and cook over moderate heat, crushing the tomatoes with a
wooden spoon, until the juices thicken, about 4 minutes. Add the reserved
shellfish cooking liquid and simmer over moderate heat until slightly
reduced, about
3 minutes.
3.
Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring
occasionally, until al dente. Meanwhile, bring the sauce to a simmer over
moderate heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 minute. Add the remaining
cherry tomatoes and the reserved mussels and clams and simmer briefly to
heat through.
4.
Drain the spaghetti and return it to the pot. Add the seafood sauce and
toss to coat. Season with salt and black pepper and transfer to a warmed
bowl. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve at once.
