This steamed seafood pasta absolutely shines in its ease and simplicity, but the cooking method makes it truly divine. By steaming the pasta with the shrimp and clams, not only does this dish have the depth of flavor of the sea, but the pasta gets a unique starchiness that makes it a 10 out of 10.

The beauty of a dish like this is that you can take it from oven to table, and it’s truly a cinch to cook up. It’s perfect for a dinner party, because it feels so elevated and special for how easy it is to make!

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pound New Zealand clams or cockles, rinsed and scrubbed
1 cup torn Italian parsley leaves
Drizzle of olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season generously with kosher salt. Add the pasta and cook, stirring often until just al dente, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large braiser or saucepan with a matching lid, combine the marinara and basil. Add 1/2 cup of pasta water to the sauce jar and rinse any remaining sauce out of the jar and add to the pan as well. When the pasta is ready, use tongs to remove the pasta from the water directly to the sauce. Sprinkle the bare pasta with the parmesan cheese and toss well to combine. Add the shrimp and clams and parsley along with a drizzle of olive oil and toss again.
Place a lid on the braiser pan, and bake until the shrimp are cooked through, and the clams are open, 14 to 18 minutes. Serve with more cheese and olive oil if desired.

@Marie no video yet, but the idea is that you mix the cheese in before adding the seafood!

Sounds amazing. Is there a video for this recipe? I am wondering about the technique to add Parmesan to bare pasta that is already in the sauce. I am a little confused.
