📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the whole wheat linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, and set aside.

2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

3. Add the sliced baby bella mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

4. Stir in the shrimp and scallops, cooking for 2-3 minutes until they begin to turn opaque. Remove from skillet and set aside.

5. Add mussels to the skillet along with the dry white wine and reduced-sodium chicken broth. Cover and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until the mussels open. Discard any mussels that do not open.

6. Return the shrimp, scallops, and mushrooms to the skillet. Stir in fresh spinach, fresh lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the spinach wilts.

7. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat. If needed, use the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen the sauce.

8. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with a lemon wedge for added brightness.
