Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the bucatini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Seafood

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the littleneck clams and mussels. Pour in white wine and cover the skillet to steam the shellfish until they open, about 5–7 minutes. Discard any that do not open.

  3. 3

    Add Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet, cooking until they turn pink and opaque, about 3–4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Make the Cream Sauce

    Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream and lemon juice. Mix well, adding reserved pasta water as needed to reach desired consistency. Season with salt and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Add the cooked bucatini to the skillet, tossing to combine with the seafood and sauce. Stir in grated Parmesan and fresh herbs. Serve immediately, garnished with additional herbs and cheese if desired.
