Someone sent me a request for this dish. Before I go on, I want to let you know that I've never ordered this before, also I've never made it. I found a good bit of variation between one recipe to the next. So... this is Linguine ai Frutti di Mare (jeff style) or at least it's what tasted good to me.
about 20 mussels.
about 15 small shrimp/8 large shrimp shelled or not shelled.
8 oz dried Linguine
1, 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes drained of most but not all juice. (save juice)
1/4 cup white wine, wine that's good enough to drink.
1/4 onion diced
4 cloves garlic minced
2 TBS olive oil
1 dried hot pepper crushed up, or a dash of red pepper flakes.
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
sugar (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
parsley for garnish
fresh parmesan for garnish
