Method

Preparation of Seafood

  1. 1

    Clean the Clams

    Rinse the little neck clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Shrimp and Cod

    Ensure the jumbo shrimp are peeled and deveined. Cut the cod fillet into bite-sized chunks.

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 3

    Boil the Linguine

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

Making the Roasted Garlic Cream Sauce

  1. 4

    Roast the Garlic

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft. Squeeze the garlic cloves into a bowl and mash with a fork.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Cream Sauce

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the roasted garlic. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add salt, black pepper, and half of the Parmesan cheese, stirring until combined.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 6

    Cook the Seafood

    Add the clams to the skillet and cover. Cook for 5 minutes until they begin to open. Add the shrimp and cod, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the shrimp is opaque and the cod is cooked through.

  2. 7

    Combine with Pasta

    Add the drained linguine to the skillet, tossing to combine everything. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

  3. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, stir in the remaining Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
