The recipe of the day is courtesy of Casa Santo Stefano (emphasis on the first syllable \u201cStef,\u201d like the \u201880s shady dude from “Days of Our Lives”). It\u2019s part of the 1905 Family of Restaurants, including its flagship: the 121-year-old Columbia Restaurant.<\/p>\n
This month, diners can pick from several nonprofits to which 5% of their bill will be donated by all of its eateries. It\u2019s part of their long-running fundraiser, Community Harvest.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are so proud that we\u2019ve been able to give back and be a part of this community,\u201d said fifth-generation Columbia caretaker Andrea Gonzmart Williams. \u201cAnd I hope we can do it for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 29 years, they\u2019ve raised $4.8 million.<\/p>\n

Linguini Frutti de Mare<\/p>\n
Ingredients<\/p>\n
1 oz. extra virgin olive oil
\n1 pinch of chopped garlic
\n1 pinch of crushed red pepper
\n1 pinch of chopped parsley for garnish
\n4 mussels
\n4 clams
\nPrecooked 6 shrimp (21-25 count)
\n2 ounces chopped clam
\n3 ounces chopped calamari (both body and tentacle pieces)
\n10 ounces al dente linguine
\n1 Maine lobster, pre-cooked and halved<\/p>\n
Directions<\/p>\n
In a saut\u00e9 pan over medium heat, add garlic and crushed red pepper. Casa Santo Stefano sous chef Enzo Pardo says you don\u2019t want to fully cook garlic right now, but you do want to cut the sometimes bitterness of the raw garlic.
\nAfter about 30 seconds, add your chopped clams, chopped calamari and shrimp. Chef continually moves the components in the pan as seafood cooks quickly. You risk rubbery calamari if you overcook.
\nNext, chef adds the clams and mussels.
\nThen the sauce. Chef uses a stewed grape tomato sauce, an in-house stewed Italian tomato sauce and a seafood sauce that incorporates clam juice.
\nChef drops al dente linguine into the pan.
\nChef adds the lobster shell up and raises the temperature. Once the lobster heats to temperature, the dish is ready to serve with a garnish of chopped parsley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TAMPA, Fla. \u2014\u00a0From the lobster to the linguine \u2014 it all cooks in the same saucepan.
