Linguine with Seafood in Saffron Broth
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2002

Ingredients
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon saffron
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 cups fish stock
24 mussels, scrubbed and de-bearded
3/4 pound medium white shrimp (about 24), shelled and deveined
1 pound dried linguine
1/4 cup chopped parsley

1/2 cup finely grated pecorino

Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

In a small saucepan, bring the wine to a simmer. Remove from the heat and add the
saffron. Set aside. In a medium stockpot, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
Add the onion and red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Add the
garlic, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the fish stock and saffron-wine
mixture and bring a boil. Add mussels, cover, and cook for 1 minute. Add the
shrimp, cover and simmer until the mussels open.

Add the linguine to the boiling water and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes.
Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Return the pasta, cooking liquid

and 1 cup of the shellfish-saffron broth to the pot, and toss to coat.

Divide the linguine, shrimp, and mussels among 6 pasta bowls. Garnish with the
chopped parsley, sprinkle with the cheese, and serve.
