Spicy Linguine With Clams And Mussels Recipes

SPICY MUSSELS WITH MUSCLE AND LINGUINI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil for pasta. Once the pasta water is at full rolling boil, season it liberally with salt and cook pasta 1 minute less than package directions.
• Meanwhile, heat a large pot or skillet with a lid over medium-high heat with EVOO, 3 turns of the pan. Add garlic and swirl a minute. Add dollops of 'nduja and melt it down (or add the sausage and brown and crumble). Add vermouth or wine and stir a minute. Add tomatoes, oregano and mussels and cover. Cook 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, to open shells and combine flavors. Uncover.
• Drain pasta and toss with sauce and mussels, 1 minute. Add parsley, lemon and salt to taste.

MUSSELS, CLAMS AND SHRIMP IN SPICY BROTH

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, bay leaf, and crushed red pepper. Saute until the garlic is tender, about 1 minute. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Add the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer. Simmer until the tomatoes begin to break down and the flavors blend, about 5 minutes. Stir in the clams. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the mussels. Cover and cook until the clams and mussels open, about 5 minutes longer.
• Using a tongs, transfer the opened shellfish to serving bowls (discard any shellfish that do not open). Add the shrimp and basil to the simmering tomato broth. Simmer until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes. Divide the shrimp and tomato broth among the bowls. Serve with the warm bread.

LINGUINI WITH CLAMS, MUSSELS, ROCK SHRIMP AND CALAMARI IN SPICY TOMATO SAUCE

Reduce to half its volume, then add the marinara and calamari. Heat up the pasta (in salted boiling water) then add to the seafood. Allow pasta to cook in the sauce for a minute, then toss in the basil and bread crumbs. Serve in a deep pasta bowl immediately.
