Florida Seafood Pasta in a White Wine Sauce Recipe
Once your family and friends taste this wonderful pasta dish, they won't believe how easy it is to make! I used Florida littleneck clams and Florida lobster along with white wine made from Florida grapes. Serve with a salad made from locally grown greens and your favorite crusty bread.
Servings: 3 to 4
Ingredients
- 8 oz. linguine pasta
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup San Sebastian Reserva white wine
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 12-16 Florida littleneck clams, scrubbed clean
- 1 Florida lobster tail, approx. 3 oz., chopped (remove lobster from shell by cutting through the bottom of the shell with kitchen shears)
- salt and pepper
- 2 Tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
- Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
- Bring salted water to a boil and prepare linguine according to instructions.
- Meanwhile, in a heavy bottomed pot or French oven, melt butter on medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add wine and olive oil and bring to a boil on medium high to high heat. Add clams and cook for 7-10 minutes or until all clams have opened up. During the last two minutes of cooking, add the chopped lobster. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked pasta to the seafood pot and mix to allow the clam sauce to coat the pasta. Add parsley and parmigiano reggiano cheese and serve immediately.
