• 100 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
• 200 grams Sea scallops

• 200 grams Mussels, cleaned
• 150 grams Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 100 milliliters Dry white wine
• 1 to taste Salt
• 1 to taste Black pepper
• 1 pinch Red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining. Set the pasta aside.

Step 2

To prepare the pesto, combine the fresh basil, pine nuts, grated Parmesan, and garlic cloves in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.

Step 3

Gradually add the olive oil in a steady stream while running the food processor until the mixture becomes smooth. Season with salt and set aside.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the scallops and sear for 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the scallops.

Step 6

Add the mussels and the dry white wine to the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the mussels open. Discard any mussels that remain closed. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

Lower the heat and add the cherry tomatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 8

Return the cooked seafood (scallops, shrimp, and mussels) to the skillet. Gently toss with the tomatoes. Add a pinch of chili flakes if desired.

Step 9

In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked linguine with the pesto sauce. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.

Step 10

Plate the linguine and top with the seafood and tomato mixture. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan and freshly cracked black pepper, if desired.
