LINGUINE WITH MANILA CLAMS AND SPICY CHORIZO SAUSAGE



Linguine with Manila Clams and Spicy Chorizo Sausage image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 to 6 portions

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound fresh ripe plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
6 to 8 quarts water
2 tablespoons salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1-ounce (1/2 to 2-ounce) can olive oilpacked flat anchovy fillets
1/2 pound chorizo sausage, sliced into rounds
2 dozen fresh manila clams, in their shells, well scrubbed
2 tablespoons peeled and chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup white wine
1 pound imported dry linguine pasta or other shape
1/4 cup julienned fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • When using fresh tomatoes they must be peeled first. Dip them briefly in boiling water to loosen the skins. Peel, cut in half, remove and discard the seeds. Dice the tomatoes and have ready beside the stove. Bring the water to a boil in a large pot and season with salt while you prepare the sauce. The pasta will cook in 10 minutes and the sauce will take 15 minutes to cook entirely.
  • Drain the anchovy fillets, rinse off the excess salt under cold water, pat dry, and chop roughly. Heat the olive oil in a sauce pan over medium heat. When hot, add the chopped anchovy fillets and saute over medium heat until the anchovies actually begin to dissolve and melt away. Add the rings of sausage and saute briefly before adding the clams in their shells. Add the garlic to the pan and before the garlic begins to brown, add the diced tomato, salt and pepper and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, before adding the white wine. Place a lid on the pan and cook until the clams steam open.
  • When the water is boiling, cook the pasta according to package directions, timing it so the pasta will be completed at about the same time as the sauce. Just before you drain the pasta, add the basil to the sauce and continue cooking for just a minute longer. Remove the sauce from the heat and toss in a bowl with the drained pasta.

PASTA WITH CLAMS, WHITE WINE AND SPICY ITALIAN SAUSAGE

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

36 littleneck clams
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium red chile, such as red jalapeno or red Fresno, finely sliced
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1/2 pound spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
1 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes
3 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked
1 pound linguine
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons butter, cold, cubed
Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Pecorino Romano, grated, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the clams in a large bowl and cover with cool tap water. Salt the water well and let the clams sit for 20 minutes to an hour to purge them of sand and grit. Drain and scrub the shells well under cold running water.
  • Set a large roasting pan across two burners. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and saute for 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the chile, fennel and sausage, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up the sausage.
  • Once the sausage is nicely browned, deglaze the pan with the white wine. Add the clams and stir everything together until well combined. Arrange the tomatoes on top, add the thyme, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook until the clams pop open and the cherry tomatoes are roasted and juicy, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the linguine until al dente. When the clams are done, return the roasting pan to the stovetop over high heat. Simmer to reduce excess liquid and to open any clams that are still closed (stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon also helps).
  • Taste sauce and season with salt as needed.
  • Drain the pasta and transfer it directly into the roasting pan. Add the butter, lemon zest and juice, and the parsley. With tongs, toss everything together to coat the pasta in the sauce.
  • Serve topped with plenty of grated pecorino if using.

Steamed Clams in Spicy Tomato Sauce image

Include mollusks in your seafood week. Clams are high in Omega 3 fatty acids, low in calories, and very high in iron.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

4-1/2 pounds clams, such as littlenecks
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup dry white wine, such as pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc
1 small onion or 2 shallots, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or 1 dried chile de arbol, broken in half
1 (28-ounce) can chopped tomatoes in juice
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 strip of orange zest
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Pinch of saffron (optional)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 to 4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
A drizzle of olive oil or squeeze of lemon juice for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse the clams in several changes of water and scrub with a small brush, such as a toothbrush. Discard any that are open or that have cracked shells.
  • Place the wine in a large, lidded pan that will accommodate all of the clams (a wok with a lid works well). Bring to a boil and reduce by half. Add the clams, cover and cook over high heat, shaking the pan from time to time, for 2 to 3 minutes, until the clams open. Remove from the heat. Discard any clams that have not opened.
  • Set a strainer over a bowl, line with cheesecloth and drain the clams. Set the liquid and the clams aside in separate bowls. You can keep the clams in the shell or remove them, whichever is most convenient for serving (it's prettiest with the clams in the shell).
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, wide, lidded skillet or casserole and add the shallots. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes, and add the garlic and red pepper flakes or chile de arbol. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds to a minute, and add the tomatoes and juice, the sugar, orange zest, thyme, saffron, and the liquid from the clams. Add salt and pepper to taste, bring to a simmer over medium heat, reduce the heat and simmer 20 to 25 minutes, stirring often, until the mixture has cooked down and is very fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Stir the clams into the tomato sauce and heat through, stirring. Add the parsley or cilantro, stir again, and serve in wide soup bowls. Drizzle a little olive oil and a few drops of lemon juice over each serving if you wish

Tips:

  • Use a good quality marinara sauce. This is the base of the dish, so it's important to use one that you like.
  • Serve the clams and sausage with crostini or crusty bread. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
