Conchiglie pasta shells are perfect for making Italian seafood pasta. Their shape allows them to absorb a wealth of delicious juices and looks charming among the mussels and clams. The seafood is simmered in a small amount of herbed white wine until all the shells open, a good source of easily digestible protein, and then tossed with cooked conchiglie pasta and blanched broccoli florets. The result is delicious, juicy, and healthy, and it's ready in just half an hour.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the broccoli to the pasta water and continue cooking until the pasta is tender but still firm to the bite and the broccoli is blanched, about 2-3 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, salt, and pepper and cook for 3 minutes. Add the clams, mussels, and wine. Cook for 5 minutes, until all the shells open. Remove any unopened mussels and clams. Sprinkle with parsley.
- In a large bowl, combine the pasta, broccoli, and clams. Add the reserved pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, to moisten the pasta. Toss to combine. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.
