LINGUINE AND CLAMS

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup white wine
3 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed well
1 dozen mussels, scrubbed well
1/4 cup olive oil
2 anchovy fillets, chopped
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound dried linguine
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped to a paste
Pinch red chile flakes
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons creme fraiche
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus parsley leaves for garnish
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the broth: Bring the wine and 1 cup water to a boil in a stockpot over high heat. Add the clams and cook until opened, about 5 minutes. Remove clams with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Discard any clams that do not open. When cool enough to handle, remove the clams from the shell and coarsely chop.
  • Bring the broth back to a boil, add the mussels and cook until the mussels open, discarding any that do not open. These mussels are added just to flavor the stock. After you remove them, eat them or reserve for another use (remove from the shell, store in a container with a tight fitting lid and refrigerate for up to 1 day).
  • Strain the cooking liquid through a mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth into a bowl. You should have 2 cups of liquid.
  • For the breadcrumbs: Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat until it begins to shimmer, add the anchovies and cook until melted into the oil. Add the breadcrumbs and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly golden brown, and then season with salt and pepper.
  • For the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine to al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water and then drain the pasta well.
  • Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and chile flakes, and cook until soft, 1 minute. Add the clam broth and cook until reduced by half.
  • Whisk in the butter, creme fraiche and chopped clams, and cook until thickened. Add the basil, parsley, oregano and zest, and season with salt and pepper. Add the pasta and cook, tossing constantly, until the pasta is coated. If the mixture is too dry, add some of the reserved pasta water.
  • Divide the pasta among the bowls, and top with some of the breadcrumbs. Garnish with parsley leaves.

LINGUINE WITH CLAMS AND FRESH HERBS

Categories     Herb     Pasta     Shellfish     Quick & Easy     Clam     Bon Appétit     Yonkers     New York

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces linguine
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 6 1/2-ounce cans chopped clams in juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
18 small clams (such as Manila or tiny littleneck), scrubbed
1/4 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add canned clams with juice, basil, tarragon, and parsley. Add fresh clams. Cover; reduce heat to medium and cook until clams open, about 6 minutes. Using tongs, transfer fresh clams to plate (discard any clams that do not open). Add cooked pasta and cream to sauce in skillet. Toss over medium-high heat until sauce coats pasta, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide pasta between bowls. Top with fresh clams and serve.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use the freshest clams you can find for the best flavor. Look for clams that are tightly closed and have a briny smell.
  • Purge the clams: Before cooking, purge the clams in cold, salted water for 30 minutes. This will help remove any sand or grit from the clams.
  • Use a large pot: You'll need a large pot to cook the clams in. A Dutch oven or large saucepan is a good option.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: Don't overcrowd the pot with clams. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the clams over high heat: Bring the clams to a boil over high heat. This will help them open quickly.
  • Don't overcook the clams: Once the clams are open, remove them from the pot immediately. Overcooking will make them tough.
  • Serve the clams with your favorite sides: Linguine with clams can be served with a variety of sides, such as crusty bread, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Linguine with clams is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a restaurant-quality meal at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood dinner, give this recipe a try!
