AMAZING WHITE CLAM SAUCE

I got this recipe from an old boyfriend, and have modified it over the years. My husband and I have this at least every two weeks with a big loaf of garlic bread. It's very easy, but very delicious and filling.

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 ¾ cups half-and-half cream
3 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams, drained with juice reserved
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping
1 (8 ounce) package dried linguine pasta

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and red pepper flakes, and cook stirring constantly until onion is tender. Add garlic, and cook for a couple of minutes, just until fragrant. Pour in the reserved clam juice, and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
  • Gradually stir the half-and-half cream into the skillet, and simmer for another 20 minutes, but do not boil. At this time, I like to prepare my linguine and garlic bread.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente.
  • Add clams to the sauce, and cook just until clams are heated through, or they will become tough and chewy. Remove from heat, and serve over linguine pasta. Top with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

CREAMY WHITE CLAM SAUCE



Creamy White Clam Sauce image

This is my own sauce, though I'm sure it is similar to many others. I usually use this with fettuccini, but it is excellent with black/squid ink pasta.

Provided by personalchef

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons butter
1 (10 ounce) can whole clams
2 garlic cloves, smashed (lay garlic clove on board and smash, remove skin, do not chop)
1 (8 ounce) bottle clam juice
1 cup white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 medium tomatoes, chopped (see note) (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in heavy skillet over med/low heat.
  • Add whole clams with juice, and garlic. Cook over low heat until clams are heated through and edges begin to curl.
  • Remove clams. Add the bottle of clam juice, white wine and heavy cream. Cook about 10 min to reduce slightly. This sauce will be thin. You want a bit of broth in your dish.
  • Remove garlic cloves
  • Add clams back into sauce and toss with your preferred pasta. I usually use fettuccini
  • Note: I often like to add a chopped tomato to this sauce. You would add the tomato after the 10 min cooking time, just to warm the chopped tomato.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams: Fresh clams have a briny, sweet flavor that is perfect for this dish. If you can't find fresh clams, frozen clams can be used, but they will not have the same flavor.
  • Soak the clams in cold water: Soaking the clams in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking will help to remove any grit or sand from the shells.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The white wine used in this dish should be a dry white wine with a crisp flavor. A Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio are both good choices.
  • Don't overcook the clams: Clams only need to be cooked for a few minutes, or they will become tough. Once the clams have opened, they are done cooking.
  • Serve the clams immediately: Clams are best served immediately after cooking. If you need to keep them warm for a short period of time, you can place them in a covered dish in a warm oven.

Conclusion:

Clams in white wine cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The briny flavor of the clams pairs perfectly with the creamy sauce, and the white wine adds a touch of acidity that brightens up the dish. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
