Instructions:
- Cook the linguine: Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the seafood: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant but not browned. Add the white wine and let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Cook the seafood: Add the clams and mussels to the skillet. Cover the skillet with a lid and let them cook for about 5 minutes or until they open. Discard any unopened shells. Add the shrimp and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
- Add tomatoes and pasta: Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for a couple of minutes until they soften. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss everything together.
- Season and garnish: Season the dish with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if you want a bit of heat. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for a burst of fresh flavor.
- Serve: Transfer the seafood linguine to serving plates or a large serving platter, and serve immediately. You can drizzle a little extra olive oil on top if desired.
