If there is one non-vegan food that I miss, it is seafood. I used to adore calamari, crab, oysters, clams, salmon, and shrimp. Although it can be quite hard to fully replicate the flavour of seafood in your kitchen, I’ve come close with this linguini dish. It is a dish that feels very luxurious, like one you would make if you wanted to treat yourself or a loved one. The mix of white wine with buttery shallots, pungent garlic, and salty, briny Kalamata olives all cooked together in a simple rosé sauce and paired with linguini truly reminds me of a dish that could be served on a terrace somewhere in Italy. Pair it with a glass of your favourite white wine, kombucha, or fresh lemony water to instantly feel transported to the seaside.
