Linguine with Seafood (Linguine allo Scoglio)
No matter how much shellfish you pack into the pot, the pasta in dishes such as linguine allo scoglio often doesn’t taste at all like the sea. We wanted to change that.

Key Equipment
Before You Begin
For a simpler version of this dish, you can omit the clams and squid and increase the amounts of mussels and shrimp to 1 1/2 pounds each; you’ll also need to increase the amount of salt in step 2 to 3/4 teaspoon. If you can’t find fresh squid, it’s available frozen (thaw it before cutting and cooking) at many supermarkets and typically has the benefit of being precleaned. Bar Harbor makes our favorite clam juice.
Instructions
1.
Heat 1/4 cup oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add garlic and pepper flakes and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add clams, cover, and cook, shaking pan occasionally, for 4 minutes. Add mussels, cover, and continue to cook, shaking pan occasionally, until clams and mussels have opened, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Transfer clams and mussels to bowl, discarding any that haven’t opened, and cover to keep warm; leave any broth in pot.
2.
Add whole tomatoes, clam juice, wine, 1/2 cup parsley, tomato paste, anchovies, thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to pot and bring to simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have started to break down and sauce is reduced by one-third, about 10 minutes.
3.
Meanwhile, bring 4 quarts water to boil in large pot. Add pasta and 1 tablespoon salt and cook, stirring often, for 7 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain pasta.
4.
Add pasta to sauce in Dutch oven and cook over medium heat, stirring gently, for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, stir in shrimp, cover, and cook for 4 minutes. Stir in squid, lemon zest, halved tomatoes, and remaining 1/2 cup parsley; cover and continue to cook until shrimp and squid are just cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Gently stir in clams and mussels. Remove pot from heat, cover, and let stand until clams and mussels are warmed through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and adjust consistency with reserved cooking water as needed. Transfer to large serving dish, drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and serve, passing lemon wedges separately.
