LINGUINE AND CLAMS WITH FRESH RED SAUCE



Linguine and Clams With Fresh Red Sauce image

This weeknight clam pasta comes together easily under 30 minutes without compromising flavor. Canned whole clams, packed in valuable clam juices, are the pantry hero. Opt for whole canned clams, since they're more tender and delicate than the chopped or minced varieties. The key to achieving the most seafood flavor is finishing the pasta right in the clam sauce, so that the pasta absorbs all of the briny flavors as it cooks. The sauce gets a nice fresh boost from the addition of sweet cherry tomatoes, while Parmesan and butter stirred in at the end create a rich, silky sauce.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound linguine
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound cherry tomatoes
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 (6-ounce) cans whole clams, juices reserved
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup chopped fresh curly or flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
Red-pepper flakes, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta according to package directions until 3 minutes shy of al dente. (It will finish cooking in the sauce; pasta should be toothsome but not crunchy.) Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain pasta.
  • Meanwhile, once pasta is cooking, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to pop, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add reserved clam juice (you should have about 1 cup) and stir to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Add sauce, pasta, 1/2 cup of the pasta water and the butter back to the large pot, and cook, stirring vigorously, until sauce is thickened and pasta is al dente, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup more pasta water if a thinner sauce is desired.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the clams, cheese and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide pasta among bowls and garnish with cheese, parsley, black pepper and red-pepper flakes, if using.

LINGUINE WITH CLAMS, ROASTED TOMATOES AND CARAMELIZED GARLIC



Linguine With Clams, Roasted Tomatoes and Caramelized Garlic image

Here is a very cool recipe that calls for roasting cherry tomatoes with garlic and oil, then using that mixture as the base of a pasta sauce heavy with clams. The juxtaposition of the slick linguine with the roasted, caramelized tomatoes and garlic, as well as the soft, briny clams, is an uncommon delight. Work hard to make sure not to overcook the pasta, so that it may finish in the sauce.

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

14 garlic cloves
2 pints cherry tomatoes, a mix of colors is nice
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Salt
1 pound dry linguine
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed
1/4 cup torn mint leaves

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Smash and peel 8 garlic cloves; peel and finely chop the remaining 6. Toss the smashed garlic with the tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of oil, fine sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread the tomatoes out in a layer in one or two baking pans (make sure they aren't too crowded, so they don't steam) and roast tomatoes, tossing occasionally, until bursting, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In a large pot of heavily salted boiling water, cook the pasta until it is 2 minutes from being done to taste. Drain.
  • Return the pasta pot to medium-high heat. Warm 4 tablespoons oil in the pot. Add the chopped garlic and red pepper flakes; cook for 30 seconds. Add the wine and let simmer 2 minutes. Stir in the roasted tomatoes and garlic. Add the clams. Cover the pot and cook until the clams open, 5 to 10 minutes. Use tongs to transfer open clams to a bowl; discard any that do not open.
  • Add the pasta and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper to the sauce in the pot. Cook, tossing, until pasta is just cooked through. Return the clams to the pot and toss with the pasta. Divide mixture among serving bowls. Garnish with mint and drizzle with more oil.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 1 large or 2 small servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup dry white wine
1 dozen littleneck clams, soaked in ice water and scrubbed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces linguine
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil, chiffonade

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large saute pan with a tight-fitting lid over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes and saute until fragrant; don't let the garlic brown. Add the cherry tomatoes, white wine and clams, increase the heat to high and cover the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the clams have opened, about 8 minutes. As the clams open, transfer them to a large bowl. When all the clams are removed, reduce the heat to medium-low and swirl in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package direction. Using tongs, transfer the linguine to the saute pan with the clam juice and toss to coat. Turn off the heat and add the clams and any juices that have collected in the bowl, the lemon zest and half of the basil. Using tongs, turn the linguine to coat it with the sauce. Top with the remaining basil. Serve immediately.
