Linguini pasta with clams and squid

Jump to Recipe
Taste this tantalizing linguini pasta with clams and calamari, a delicious seafood recipe for a quick lunch or dinner meal.

This linguini pasta with clams also known as linguine vongole.

I have decided to add calamari too to add extra seafood which we love tremendously. This linguini pasta is a very simple pasta dish to prepare, it makes an absolutely divine meal to enjoy with family or friends.

Quick to make and super easy suitable for lunch or dinner, a delicious recipe for a quick family meal.

We all get pretty excited about this awesome combination of pasta and seafood.

There is no better outcome than just preparing a tasty dish in a flash and impressing your taste buds in an instance. Seafood pasta accomplishes that, every single time over here, I hope you like it too.

Do you cook pasta often? When did you prepare your clams and squid pasta last time?

The linguini pasta

It’s best to cook and immediately serve this pasta, but if preparing for later meals, add some olive oil (1-2 tbsp) to the pasta so it doesn’t stick.

Also if you need to reheat pasta, try 1-2 minutes, anything past that results in an overly cooked pasta.

If you intend to eat this seafood linguini pasta later on, (right after boiling) quickly rinse the pasta in cold water:

1 – to bring down the temperature of the pasta, full control;
2 – to rinse the extra starch which would normally make it stick.

The squid

If this is fresh you only need to cut it into strips or rings, however you may like.

If you buy frozen squid, defrost it for at least 1 hour before preparing, so that it doesn’t release too much water when cooking it.

The clams

These are pretty seasonal and please make sure they get sourced sustainably from a great sustainable source. If you cannot find clams, you may replace these with any seafood you may like or find, a  good old smoked salmon would be beautiful too.

Here it is. A great dish idea to try!

    I have made this exactly as indicated and we all loved it. My kids want it again this week which shows that it is such a nice dish. Trust me this is not happening often. Beautiful and will clearly make it again. Kids wanted to give it a 10 stars but told them I can only give 5 and they were disappointed ( 5 years old twins 😉 ) Thank yu so much for sharing this. I have also tried the beans pate and I absolutely loved it with loads of garlic – wow.
