Clams

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/8 cup vegetable oil
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
4 stalks celery, scrubbed and diced medium
2 medium onions, diced medium
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley plus 10 small springs for garnish (about 2 to 3 ounces)
2 cups clam juice
2 pounds fresh manila clams (approximately 12 to 14 dozen or 8 pounds in shell, well-scrubbed)
3 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
2 tablespoons crab boil seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)
2 pounds linguini

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil for the pasta.
  • In a large saucepan, heat oil and butter and add celery and onions, sauteing until translucent. Add clam juice and mix well to integrate flavors. Stir in clams and continue to simmer until clams open. Discard any clams that do not open. Season with salt, pepper and crab boil seasoning. Remove clams to a utility platter.
  • Salt the water for the pasta and boil linguini until al dente. Drain well and transfer to pot of clam sauce. Stir to coat and transfer to serving dish, topping with the clams.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams: Fresh clams have a briny, sweet flavor that is perfect for this dish. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Soak the clams: Soaking the clams in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking will help to remove any sand or grit. Be sure to rinse the clams thoroughly after soaking.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a fruity, extra-virgin olive oil that you would enjoy eating on its own.
  • Don't overcook the clams: Clams cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. They are done when they are opaque and just cooked through.
  • Add the clams at the end of cooking: Adding the clams at the end of cooking will help to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Serve immediately: Clams linguini is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if you let it sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Clams linguini is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
