Spaghetti with Pinot Grigio and Seafood
"Bella Sera® Pinot Grigio is light-bodied, refreshing and has a hint of citrus -- it's the perfect complement to lighter recipes on a warm summer day." - Celebrity Chef Giada De Laurentiis
Yields: 4 to 6 servings
| 1 | pound spaghetti |
| 1/4 | cup olive oil |
| 3 | shallots, chopped |
| 3 | garlic cloves, minced |
| 3/4 | cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes |
| 1 1/2 | cups Bella Sera Pinot Grigio |
| 1 | pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined |
| 2 | pounds littleneck clams, scrummed |
| 1 | teaspoon salt |
| 1 | teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
| 2 | cups arugula, tough stems removed |
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic and cook for 3 minutes, until tender but not brown. Add sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute. Add wine, shrimp and clams, and bring liquid to a boil. Reduce heat, cover pan, and simmer until shrimp are pink and clams have opened, about 7 minutes. Discard any clams that have not opened.
Add spaghetti to skillet with seafood mixture. Add salt and pepper and stir to combine, then gently fold in arugula. Mound pasta on a serving platter and serve immediately.
