Facts about seafood pasta linguine
- Seafood pasta linguine is also known as “linguine allo scoglio” in Italian, which means “linguine of the rocks”. This refers to the rocky coast where the seafood is harvested.
- It is traditionally made with fresh pasta, which has a softer texture and more flavor than dried pasta. However, you can also use dried pasta if you prefer or if fresh pasta is not available.
- Seafood linguine is usually cooked “al dente”, which means “to the tooth”. This means that the pasta is cooked until it is firm but not hard, which helps it absorb the sauce better and prevents it from becoming mushy.
- Seafood linguine is one of the most popular dishes in Italy, especially in coastal regions where seafood is abundant and fresh. It’s also a popular dish in North America and other parts of the world where Italian cuisine is appreciated.

Cook Linguine and keep warm
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the linguine and cook according to the package directions until al dente (firm but not hard). Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Keep it warm while you make the sauce.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and sauté for about a minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.

Add the seafood mix and the white wine to the skillet. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seafood is cooked through and the wine is reduced by half. If using clams or mussels, discard any that do not open.
Add Tomatoes
Add the peeled tomatoes to the skillet. Crush them with a wooden spoon or a fork to release their juices. Simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened.
Salt n Pepper
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in half of the parsley and reserve the rest for garnish.
Add cooked Linguine
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss well to combine with the sauce. Transfer to a large serving platter or divide among individual plates
