    Conghilie with Clams and Mussels

    Vanessa and I cooked this tonight and it turned out delish.

    1 pound conghilie (small shells) pasta
    1 pound broccoli, cut into florets (about 4 cups)
    1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    1 pound small littleneck clams, scrubbed
    1 pound mussels, debearded
    1 cup white wine
    1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the broccoli into the pasta water and continue cooking until the pasta is tender but still firm to the bite, and the broccoli is blanched, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain pasta and broccoli, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
    Meanwhile, in a large, heavy skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper and saute for 3 minutes. Add the clams, mussels, and wine. Cook for 5 minutes, making sure all the shells have opened. Discard any shells that remain closed. Sprinkle with the parsley.

    In a large bowl, toss together the pasta, broccoli, and shellfish. Add the reserved pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, to moisten. Toss to combine. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.

    We will cook as long as you clean up after us.

    We had a good time too. If anyone else on here is in the Cape May area you have to eat at COPPER FISH across the street from South Jersey Marina.

    The ride home wasn't bad once we were able to wake up but the rest of the day went very slow.
