Linguine Frutti Di Mare - Nikko’s Taverna
Ingredients: 

7 oz whole wheat pasta 
1 oz butter 
1 tsp minced garlic 
1 oz chopped onion 
4 oz tomato sauce mixed with Italian herbs 
2 jumbo shrimps 
2 jumbo scallops 
2 oz calamari 
7 mussels 
5 baby clams 
Salt & pepper to taste 
White wine 
Cook the pasta in a pot with boiling water for about 8 to 10 minutes until 
it cooks al dente. While the pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce. 

Add the butter to a pre-heated pan and as it starts to melt add the onions 
and the garlic. Sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste. Add the shrimps, the 
scallops, the calamari, the mussels and the baby clams. Mix well and sauté 
everything for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and mix well. 
The pasta should be cooked by then, so remove it from the pot, drain it quickly 
and without letting it cool down, add onto the sauce. Mix everything well 
and let it cook and simmer for another 2 minutes. 

Serve and enjoy with a glass of white wine!
