An awesome linguini pasta with clams and calamari, super delicious easy seafood recipe for a quick lunch or dinner meal to enjoy with family and friends. Cannot get any better.
While pasta is cooking, place a deep frying pan (wok style) on medium heat. Add the olive oil, butter and peel the garlic if not done so already.
Add the finely chopped garlic to the hot oil one pinch of dry chilly flakes (if decided to put in so you use either the dry one now or the fresh one at the end). Cook for literally 30-40 seconds and then add the very well-drained squid. Cook for 2-3 minutes and then add the cream followed by the clams. Cook for a further 4-5 min covered. Please do use all the juices that clams come with.
Put pasta in, mix well and serve with the freshly chopped parsley, the chilli and/or the baked tomatoes followed by a good old squeeze of fresh lemon.I did tell you it's dead easy!
Notes
Clams - the quantity stipulated is with shells - if shelled clams aren't available, canned clams can be used and 2 cans should suffice.
