Steps:

• Cook linguine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cucumber, tomatoes and onions. Drain linguine; rinse under cold water. Add linguine to vegetable mixture. Drizzle with dressing; toss to coat. Refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; rinse with cold water and drain.
• Stir linguine, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, green pepper, red peppers, onion, and cucumber together in a large bowl.
• Blend sugar, vinegar, ketchup, onion powder, celery seed, Worcestershire sauce, salt, ground mustard, paprika, and garlic powder in a blender. Pour the vegetable oil in a steady stream into the blender while the mixture is blending. Mix a few seconds longer until the salad dressing is thick and creamy.
• Pour dressing over pasta mixture and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Steps:

• Toss Veggies with linguini and dressing.
• Variation: Toss in any variety of vegetables.

Steps:

• Set a large, 1-gallon stockpot filled with water to a boil and season with 2 tablespoons of the salt. Add the linguine to the pot and stir until the water returns to a boil.
• Once the pasta is cooked, but still slightly firm, or al dente, remove from the heat and drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water separately. Place the linguine in a large, warmed bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Wrap with plastic and set aside as you finish the sauce.
• While the linguine cooks, make the sauce. Set a large, 14-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil and the onions. Saute the onions until lightly caramelized, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, Essence and red pepper flakes to the pan. Toast the garlic until browned, about 30 to 45 seconds. Add the white wine to the pan and cook until nearly completely reduced, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, reserved pasta cooking water, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to the pan. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the shrimp, clams, mussels and basil to the pan, cover, and cook until the clams and mussels open, about 4 to 5 minutes. Toss to combine, and remove the sauce from the stove. Add the pasta sauce and parsley to the cooked pasta and toss to combine. Serve with Parmesan for garnishing.

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook linguine according to package instructions. In the last 3 minutes of cooking, add shrimp; cook until opaque throughout. Drain pasta and shrimp and return to pot. Toss with olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and spinach. To serve, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil.

Steps:

• Heat wine in a large Dutch oven over medium-high until simmering. Add cockles and mussels, cover pot, and cook until shellfish have opened, about 5 minutes. (Discard any unopened ones.) Using a slotted spoon, remove shellfish and transfer to a bowl. Shuck half of mussels; discard shells. Cover shellfish with foil to keep warm. Strain liquid through a fine-mesh sieve. (You should have about 1 cup broth.)
• Wipe Dutch oven clean with a paper towel. Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high, swirling to coat bottom. Pat scallops dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper. Add to Dutch oven and cook, flipping once, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; loosely cover with foil.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to pan drippings in Dutch oven; reduce heat to medium. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add red-pepper flakes and tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes. Add shellfish broth and cook, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until mixture is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes with their juices and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add shrimp and squid and cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through and shrimp are bright pink, about 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package instructions in a large pot of generously salted water. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Toss pasta with tomato sauce, adding pasta water to adjust consistency until creamy. Gently stir in cockles and mussels, reserving a few for garnish if desired. Transfer to a large serving platter; top with scallops and reserved shellfish, if using. Sprinkle with parsley, drizzle with oil, and serve.

Steps:

• Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons kosher salt.
• In a 14- to 16-inch fry pan, heat the oil over medium heat till smoking. Add the garlic and cook until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add half of the bread crumbs, the walnuts, and pepper flakes and cook until lightly toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Drop the pasta into the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until 1 minute short of al dente. Just before draining the pasta, add 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water to the pan with the walnut mixture.
• Drain the pasta in a colander and pour the pasta into the pan with the walnut mixture. Place the pan over medium heat and continue cooking the pasta with the walnut mixture until the pasta is lightly dressed with the condiment, about 1 minute. Add the parsley and grated cheese, stir through, pour into a heated bowl, sprinkle with the remaining bread crumbs, and serve immediately.
