This exquisite Italian seafood pasta will be the highlight of your holiday dinner. Boil the spaghetti, and everything will cook in just minutes, as this dish includes clams and shrimp, which should not be overcooked to ensure they remain tender and juicy. Simmer them in a white wine, such as Pinot Grigio, with sun-dried tomatoes until all the shells open, then add the cooked spaghetti and arugula to gently wilt the greens. It's recommended to serve this pasta with the same wine used to prepare it.

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, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook for 3 minutes, until softened but not browned. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute. Add the wine, shrimp, and clams. Bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the shrimp are pink and the clams have opened, about 7 minutes.

Add the spaghetti to the seafood mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir to distribute evenly. Add the arugula. Gently toss and transfer the spaghetti to a serving platter. Serve immediately.
