LINGUINE WITH CLAM SAUCE



Linguine with Clam Sauce image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound linguine
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
Two 10-ounce cans chopped clams, drained, juice reserved
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup white wine
Juice of 1/2 lemon, plus lemon slices, for garnish
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Be careful not to overcook; the pasta should have plenty of bite to it. Drain and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. (Using both olive oil and butter allows you to heat the mixture at a higher heat before it starts to brown.) Add the clams and garlic and stir together. Cook for 3 minutes. Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Cook until the sauce is reduced and less watery, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and stir to melt. Reduce the heat and squeeze in the lemon juice. Pour in the cream and sprinkle in the parsley. This is a very decadent dish! Add some salt and freshly ground black pepper, then stir well and taste for seasoning. Add a splash of reserved clam juice if the sauce needs thinning. Cook over low heat until heated through, about 3 minutes more.
  • Pour the pasta into a serving bowl. Pour on the sauce straight from the skillet, including all the luscious juice, and toss to combine. At this point your kitchen smells like heaven. Top with freshly grated Parmesan and garnish with lemon slices.

LINGUINE WITH WHITE CLAM SAUCE



Linguine with White Clam Sauce image

Linguine with White Clam Sauce is one of Anne Burrell's favorite "happy foods." Get this simple recipe from Secrets of a Restaurant Chef on Food Network.

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Extra-virgin olive oil
9 cloves garlic, smashed
5 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed under cold running water
1 cup white wine
1/2 cup water
1 large pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound linguine
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley leaves
2 tablespoons chopped oregano leaves
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, optional, plus shavings for garnish
Kosher salt
Big fat finishing extra-virgin olive oil (high quality)

Steps:

  • Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and add half the garlic cloves. Bring the pan to a medium- high heat and cook until the garlic becomes golden brown. When the garlic is golden brown and very aromatic, remove it and discard, it has fulfilled its garlic destiny. Put 3 1/2 dozen clams in the pan with the wine and 1/2 cup of water. Cover the pan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Cover and cook until the clams open, about 10 minutes. Remove the clams from the pan and reduce the cooking liquid. Let the clams cool slightly, then remove them from the shells and reserve. Discard the shells. Pour the cooking liquid into a measuring cup.
  • Bring a large pot of well salted water to a boil over medium heat.
  • Coat the same saute pan again with olive oil and add the remaining garlic cloves and a large pinch of crushed pepper flakes. Bring the pan to a medium-high heat and cook until the garlic becomes golden brown. When the garlic is golden brown and very aromatic, remove it and discard, it has fulfilled its garlic destiny. Add the remaining raw clams and reserved clam cooking liquid to the pan. When adding the reserved clam liquid, be sure to check for sand and grit in the bottom, you may lose the last couple of tablespoons of juice but that is better than sand in your pasta! Cover and cook until the clams open.
  • While the clams are cooking, drop the linguine into the salted boiling water and cook until the pasta is very "al dente" maybe a minute or so less than the box directs.
  • Remove the cooked clams in their shells from the pan and keep warm. Add the butter and cooked clams that have been removed from their shells back to the pan. Bring the liquid to a boil and toss in the cooked pasta and the herbs. Cook the pasta together with the sauce until the sauce clings to the pasta. Turn off the heat and toss in the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, if using, and finish with a drizzle of big fat finishing oil. Toss or stir vigorously to combine.
  • Divide the pasta into serving dishes and garnish with the clams that are still in their shells and a little more shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano, if desired.
  • This won't make you want to clam up!

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality clams: Fresh clams will have a briny, slightly sweet flavor, while older clams may have a more fishy taste. Look for clams that are tightly closed and have a glossy, unbroken shell.
  • Purge the clams before cooking: Purging the clams helps to remove any sand or grit from the shells. To purge the clams, place them in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 30 minutes. Change the water a few times during this process.
  • Cook the clams in a flavorful liquid: The cooking liquid for the clams should be flavorful and aromatic. You can use white wine, clam juice, or a combination of both. Add some herbs, such as thyme, oregano, or basil, to the cooking liquid for extra flavor.
  • Don't overcook the clams: Clams are a delicate seafood and can easily be overcooked. Cook the clams just until they open, which will take about 5-7 minutes. Overcooked clams will become tough and chewy.
  • Serve the clams immediately: Clams are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can serve them over pasta, rice, or crusty bread. You can also add them to soups and stews.

Conclusion:

Linguine with Herbed Clam Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. The combination of fresh clams, flavorful herbs, and a creamy sauce makes this dish a winner. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and impressive dish that everyone will love.
