Ingredients

  • Kosher salt
  • 1 pound linguine
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • One 28-ounce can fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 pound black mussels, scrubbed and cleaned
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, sliced into ribbons

Method

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Slip the pasta into the boiling water.
  • Cook until al dente.
  • Pour the oil into a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Once its hot, toss in the garlic and red-pepper flakes, and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden and fragrant, just about 1 minute.
  • Pour in the wine and the tomatoes; bring the liquid to a simmer, and allow the sauce to cook for 10 minutes, stirring on occasion.
  • Stir the shrimp and mussels into the simmering sauce, cover, and cook for 3 minutes, or until the mussels open and the shrimp turns bright pink.
  • (Remove any mussels that have not fully opened.)
  • Give the sauce another stir, and then add the linguine and basil directly to the pan.
  • Toss all together, and serve hot!
