Good to know

Chef's tip

Add a ladleful of pasta cooking water to the sauce before tossing 🍝. The starch helps the sauce coat the linguine better and prevents a texture that is too runny.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

The texture of the seafood, pasta and cream sauce degrades considerably when thawed and reheated.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 1 day at most in an airtight container in the fridge; the texture of the seafood and pasta deteriorates quickly.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

Preparing the seafood and sauce the day before is risky. Only the pasta can be parcooked al dente and rinsed, then kept refrigerated.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Reheat gently in a saucepan over low heat with a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out. Microwave possible at low power, but the texture of the seafood and pasta will suffer.

Variations

Add a little heavy cream and simmer for 2 minutes.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Serve with fresh parsley.

Mistakes to avoid

Overcooking the shrimp: 3 minutes, until they turn pink.
Not covering the pan to open the shellfish: cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Overcooking the pasta: about 10 minutes, al dente.

Frequently asked questions

How do you make seafood linguine?

Cook the linguine al dente, sauté the shallot and garlic, add the mussels, clams and white wine, cover for 5 minutes, add the shrimp for 3 minutes, the cream for 2 minutes, then toss with the pasta.

How do you cook the shellfish?

Add the cleaned mussels and clams to the pan, pour in the white wine, cover and cook for 5 minutes until the shells open.

When do you add the cream?

After the shrimp, add 200 ml of heavy cream (if using) and simmer for 2 minutes before adding the drained pasta.

How long should you toss the pasta in the sauce?

Add the drained linguine directly to the pan and toss for 1 to 2 minutes so they soak up the sauce, then add the parsley and pepper.
