Florida Seafood Pasta in a White Wine Sauce

One of my most favorite things to order at an Italian restaurant is clams casino or any kind of seafood with pasta. I love it. I cannot get enough mussels, clams, lobster, whatever, you name it, I love it. When my friend, Ricky, asked me to contribute a recipe to his new guide to Orlando restaurants that highlighted local ingredients…I knew I had to make a seafood pasta dish!

The Food Lovers' Guide to Orlando is out now! It's great, it's packed full of great advice on the best places to eat in the area and includes recipes from some of my blogger friends and my favorite restaurants!

First, I start the water boiling for the pasta. Then, I prep the lobster. Cut along the bottom of the lobster tail and the top too. Then, pull out the tail and chop it up. Scrub the clams.

Melt the butter and cook the garlic. Then, add white wine and olive oil and bring to a boil. Then add the clams. Cook those until most have opened and then add the lobster. Toss in the pasta and serve with parsley and parmesan cheese.

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.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 3 to 4

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, approx. 3 oz., chopped (remove lobster from shell by cutting through the bottom of the shell with kitchen shears)
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
  • Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, grated (optional)

Instructions

  • 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.

      I love sea food with wine. You share a wonderful recipe of pasta. I never know that wine is also an ingredient, which can use to make the pasta. It looks too good in pictures. I am eager to try it at home and enjoy with wine.

      WANT! My mouth is watering just looking at this picture. I don’t know why, but I’ve always been afraid to cook my own seafood. I feel like it never comes out as good as it does at the restaurant.

      Congratulations on being included in the guide! Nice. 🙂

      And somehow I’ve never had lobster or clams. I don’t like seafood in general but I guess I should at least give them a try. This looks great and love the white wine sauce!

      I’m so happy that you posted this recipe! I’ve been thinking about making a dinner dish with clams that my picky little boys would enjoy, too, and I wanted to report that this recipe was a huge success! Thanks for sharing another great one 🙂
