How to Make Copycat Olive Garden Seafood Portofino

  1. **Make the Portofino Sauce:**
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic; cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Add white wine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and olive oil to create a roux.
  5. Stir the roux into the onion mixture along with shrimp stock and Old Bay seasoning. Cook for 3 minutes.
  6. Stir in milk and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Set aside.
  8. **Cook the Seafood and Pasta:**
  9. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes.
  10. Add mussels and cook for 30 seconds.
  11. Add shrimp, crawfish, and scallops. Cook until heated through, stirring occasionally.
  12. Pour the Portofino sauce over the seafood. Cook until bubbling.
  13. Add linguine to one side of the pan and, using tongs, toss the pasta in the sauce to coat.
  14. Serve immediately and enjoy!
