Ingredients
- 12 ounces linguine pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 1 cup vegetarian clam-flavored broth
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup vegan clam pieces or king oyster mushroom slices
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sauté minced garlic and shallots until fragrant and translucent, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the vegetarian clam-flavored broth and white wine to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly.
Step 4
Incorporate the vegan clam pieces or king oyster mushroom slices and cherry tomatoes into the skillet. Cook until the tomatoes are softened and the mushroom slices are tender, around 5 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in red pepper flakes, lemon zest, and juice, letting simmer for an additional minute.
Step 6
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing with tongs to coat the pasta in the sauce evenly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Step 8
Serve hot with an additional wedge of lemon if desired.
