Ingredients
- 12 x littleneck clams scrubbed
- 12 x mussels scrubbed, debearded
- 1 c. dry white wine
- 8 ounce Fettuccine or possibly linguine
- 6 Tbsp. purchased pesto
- 1/4 c. sliced liquid removed oil-packed sun-dry tomatoes
- 1/4 tsp dry crushed red pepper Salt to taste Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste
Directions
- Combine clams, mussels and wine in heavy large pot; bring to boil over medium-high heat. Cover pot; cook till shellfish open, about 7 min (throw away any which don't open). Using tongs, transfer shellfish to bowl; cover with foil to keep hot. Reserve shellfish juices.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in medium pot of boiling salted water till just tender but still hard to bite.
- Drain pasta; return to same pot. Add in reserved shellfish juices, pesto, sun-dry tomatoes and crushed red pepper. Toss over medium heat just till sauce coats pasta. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide pasta between 2 bowls; top with shellfish and serve.
- This recipe yields 2 servings;
- can be doubled.
- Comments: Crusty Italian bread and mixed greens with a red wine vinaigrette are good with the pasta. Afterward, put out big strawberries and bowls of mascarpone cheese (or possibly lowfat sour cream) and brown sugar for dipping.
