Florida Seafood Pasta in a White Wine Sauce Recipe

Once your family and friends taste this wonderful pasta dish, they won't believe how easy it is to make! I used Florida littleneck clams and Florida lobster along with white wine made from Florida grapes. Serve with a salad made from locally grown greens and your favorite crusty bread.

Ingredients

8 oz. linguine pasta
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1/2 cup San Sebastian Reserva white wine
1/4 cup olive oil
12-16 Florida littleneck clams (scrubbed clean)
1 Florida lobster tail
salt and pepper
2 Tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (grated (optional))

Steps

Bring salted water to a boil and prepare linguine according to instructions.
Meanwhile, in a heavy bottomed pot or French oven, melt butter on medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add wine and olive oil and bring to a boil on medium high to high heat. Add clams and cook for 7-10 minutes or until all clams have opened up. During the last two minutes of cooking, add the chopped lobster. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked pasta to the seafood pot and mix to allow the clam sauce to coat the pasta. Add parsley and parmigiano reggiano cheese and serve immediately.
