Fresh Direct came through again with their delivery, cockles! What to do with them. I had frozen shrimp in the freezer and the clams, why not some pasta.
I made a base of pancetta, garlic (lots of it), a shallot, and some grape tomatoes. After they burst and the sauce was kind of soupy, I added the scrubbed clams until they opened. I removed them and took the meat out of the shells. Any clam juice went back into the pan. I added some white wine and tasted for seasoning.
The pasta water was set to boil and I added the frozen shrimp into the broth to cook through. They were still half frozen. When the pasta was cooked, I dumped it into the sauce along with some of the pasta water and stirred things around to coat each linguini strand with the sauce.
Dinner was served along with a salad!
