Ingredients:
1 pound conghilie (small shells) pasta |
1 pound broccoli, cut into florets (about 4 cups) |
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil |
3 cloves garlic, minced |
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
1/2 teaspoons kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 pound small littleneck clams, scrubbed |
1 pound mussels, debearded |
1 cup white wine |
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the broccoli into the pasta water and continue cooking until the pasta is tender but still firm to the bite, and the broccoli is blanched, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain pasta and broccoli, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
2. Meanwhile, in a large, heavy skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper and saute for 3 minutes. Add the clams, mussels, and wine. Cook for 5 minutes, making sure all the shells have opened. Discard any shells that remain closed. Sprinkle with the parsley.
3. In a large bowl, toss together the pasta, broccoli, and shellfish. Add the reserved pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, to moisten. Toss to combine. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.
