LINGUINE WITH GARLICKY WHITE CLAM SAUCE



Linguine with Garlicky White Clam Sauce image

This is a great and tasty recipe I'm sure you will enjoy. Check seasonings to taste. This has a heavy garlic and wine taste. When using a cooking wine do not add salt because there's salt already in the cooking wine. You can try sherry in place of the white wine. Top with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 anchovy fillets
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 (10 ounce) cans whole baby clams, drained and juice reserved
⅓ cup white wine

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook anchovies in the skillet until they dissolve into the oil, about 5 minutes; add garlic and continue cooking until it is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Melt butter into the anchovies mixture. When the butter begins to bubble, stir parsley, oregano, red pepper flakes, and black pepper into the butter mixture; cook to soften the parsley, about 1 minute.
  • Pour wine and about 3/4 of the reserved clam juice into the skillet. Place a cover on the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Bring liquid to a simmer; add clams and continue to cook until the clams are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour clam sauce over linguine to serve.

LINGUINE WITH CLAM SAUCE



Linguine With Clam Sauce image

Purists may object, but canned clams are a great weeknight pantry stalwart. When fresh ones are out of reach, or when you've decided you need a briny fix, the canned clam is reliable no matter the season. This recipe calls for dry vermouth, which adds a subtle herbaceous layer of flavor. (Vermouth has a long shelf life when stored properly, and it's great to have on hand to make a last-minute pan sauce.) Canned clams are already salty, so be mindful of oversalting the pasta water or the sauce. The dish is finished with lemon zest for brightness and butter for silkiness. The best part? The whole thing can be on the table in the same amount of time it takes to boil water.

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
1 pound linguine or other long pasta, such as linguine fini or spaghetti
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving (optional)
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 to 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup dry vermouth or dry white wine
2 (10-ounce) cans whole baby clams with their juices
Black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons lemon zest (from 1 to 2 lemons)
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley
Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until 2 minutes short of al dente (it will finish cooking in the sauce). Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain pasta.
  • While the pasta cooks, make your sauce: Heat the oil in a deep-sided 12-inch skillet over medium. Add the garlic, red-pepper flakes and oregano and cook until the garlic is pale golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vermouth and simmer until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the clams with their juices and cook until just warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Add the cooked pasta directly to the skillet along with the butter and lemon zest and toss until the butter has melted and the pasta is glossy with sauce. If needed, add 1/4 cup reserved pasta water. Stir in half the parsley.
  • Serve pasta topped with a drizzle of olive oil, if desired, and the remaining parsley. Serve lemon wedges alongside if you like.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams: Fresh clams have a briny, sweet flavor that is essential to this dish. If you can't find fresh clams, frozen clams will also work, but they will not have as much flavor.
  • Purge the clams: Before cooking the clams, it is important to purge them to remove any sand or grit. To do this, place the clams in a bowl of cold water and let them sit for 30 minutes. Then, drain the water and rinse the clams thoroughly.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is the base of this sauce, so it is important to use a good quality oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, but a good quality regular olive oil will also work.
  • Don't overcook the clams: Clams are very delicate and can easily overcook. Cook them just until they open, which will take about 5 minutes. If you overcook them, they will become tough and chewy.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The clams will start to toughen up if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Linguine with Garlic Clam Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The briny, sweet flavor of the clams pairs perfectly with the garlicky, buttery sauce. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
