Recipes

Drain clams, reserving liquid; set aside. Place crabmeat in sieve; pick through to remove any cartilage. Press firmly to remove liquid and set crabmeat aside.

In large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; fry onion, celery, red pepper, savory, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in flour; cook, whisking, for 1 minute. Add reserved clam juice, milk and wine, 1/2 cup (125 mL) at a time, whisking until bubbly and thickened, about 15 minutes. Stir in clams, crabmeat and peas.

Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook fettuccine for 6 minutes. Add shrimp; cook until pasta is tender but firm and shrimp are pink, about 2 minutes. Drain and return to pot. Add clam mixture; stir gently.

Transfer to 13- x 9-inch (3 L) glass baking dish. (Make-ahead: Let cool for 30 minutes; chill in refrigerator. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Or wrap in heavy-duty foil and freeze for up to 2 weeks; thaw in refrigerator for 24 hours. Add 10 minutes to baking time.)

Topping: In bowl, stir bread crumbs with parsley; drizzle with butter, tossing to combine. Sprinkle over pasta. Bake in 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oven until bubbly and golden, about 25 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes.
