Amount Ingredient
12 x littleneck clams scrubbed
12 x mussels scrubbed, debearded
1 cup dry white wine
8 oz tagliatelle or linguine
6 tbl purchased pesto
1/4 cup sliced drained oil-packed sun-dried
tomatoes
1/4 tsp dried crushed red pepper
Salt to taste
Instructions:
Instructions: Combine clams, mussels and wine in heavy large pot; bring to boil over medium-high heat. Cover pot; cook until shellfish open, about 7 minutes (discard any that do not open). Using tongs, transfer shellfish to bowl; cover with foil to keep warm. Reserve shellfish juices.

Meanwhile, cook pasta in medium pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite.

Drain pasta; return to same pot. Add reserved shellfish juices, pesto, sun-dried tomatoes and crushed red pepper. Toss over medium heat just until sauce coats pasta. Season with salt and pepper.

Divide pasta between 2 bowls; top with shellfish and serve.

This recipe yields 2 servings;

can be doubled.

Comments: Crusty Italian bread and mixed greens with a red wine vinaigrette are good with the pasta. Afterward, put out big strawberries and bowls of mascarpone cheese (or sour cream) and brown sugar for dipping.
