2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon salt
1 pound linguine pasta
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup small-diced onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup dry white wine

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 lb linguine
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan (EVOO)
1 (2 ounce) can flat anchovy fillets, drained
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, eyeball it in your palm
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves (a couple of pinches)
1 teaspoon dried thyme (one-third palmful)
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup dry red wine (a couple of glugs)
2 (14 ounce) cans baby clams, in juice, 1 can drained
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped flat leaf parsley (2 handfuls)
1 teaspoon rated lemon zest, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the pasta and cook until al dente.
  • While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce: Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat, add the EVOO (3 turns of the pan) and the anchovies and cook until the anchovies melt into the oil.
  • Add the crushed red pepper flakes, oregano, thyme and garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add the onion, raise the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes, until the onion begins to soften. Add the wine and cook 1 minute, then stir in the clams with their juice plus the drained clams. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute to concentrate the flavors. Stir in the tomatoes and cook until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste (be sure to taste the sauce before seasoning it; there's so much salt in the anchovies and clams that you may not need to add any).
  • Drain the linguine, return it to the pot and add the sauce. Add half the parsley and toss. Adjust the salt and pepper and plate the pasta. Garnish it with the remaining parsley and a little lemon zest.

LINGUINE AND CLAMS WITH FRESH RED SAUCE



Linguine and Clams With Fresh Red Sauce image

This weeknight clam pasta comes together easily under 30 minutes without compromising flavor. Canned whole clams, packed in valuable clam juices, are the pantry hero. Opt for whole canned clams, since they're more tender and delicate than the chopped or minced varieties. The key to achieving the most seafood flavor is finishing the pasta right in the clam sauce, so that the pasta absorbs all of the briny flavors as it cooks. The sauce gets a nice fresh boost from the addition of sweet cherry tomatoes, while Parmesan and butter stirred in at the end create a rich, silky sauce.

Categories     pastas, seafood, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound linguine
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound cherry tomatoes
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 (6-ounce) cans whole clams, juices reserved
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup chopped fresh curly or flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
Red-pepper flakes, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta according to package directions until 3 minutes shy of al dente. (It will finish cooking in the sauce; pasta should be toothsome but not crunchy.) Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain pasta.
  • Meanwhile, once pasta is cooking, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to pop, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add reserved clam juice (you should have about 1 cup) and stir to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Add sauce, pasta, 1/2 cup of the pasta water and the butter back to the large pot, and cook, stirring vigorously, until sauce is thickened and pasta is al dente, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup more pasta water if a thinner sauce is desired.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the clams, cheese and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide pasta among bowls and garnish with cheese, parsley, black pepper and red-pepper flakes, if using.

LINGUINE WITH RED PESTO CLAM SAUCE



Linguine With Red Pesto Clam Sauce image

My favorite pasta dish is Linguine Alle Vongole or linguine with clam sauce. This quick version uses tomato pesto which adds a really nice flavor to the dish. If you can't get tomato pesto, you can use basil pesto. Big fan of clams? Use 2 cans but only liquid from 1 can. The trick to this recipe is to make the sauce while the linguine cooks so that it's all ready at the same time. Buon Appetito!

LINGUINE WITH CLAMS



Linguine with Clams image

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds small clams, such as cockles or manila clams
Kosher salt
1 pound dried linguine
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for drizzling
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 shallots, minced
1 to 2 large anchovy fillets in olive oil, drained and chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Soak the clams in cool water for about 30 minutes to expel the sand. Gently scrub the shells to remove any debris.
  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water (it should taste like the sea) to a boil. Add the pasta to the water and cook until slightly less than al dente.
  • In a large braiser or sauté pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, shallots, anchovies and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until the shallots are soft, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the clams in a single layer, along with a sprinkle of the parsley and the wine. Cover the pan with a lid and steam, shaking the pan occasionally, until the clams open up, 4 to 5 minutes. Discard any clams that remain closed. Transfer the clams to a bowl and set aside.
  • Strain or transfer the pasta and add it directly to the pan with the clam sauce along with a drizzle of olive oil, tossing to combine. Let the pasta finish cooking with the sauce until the sauce thickens, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the remaining parsley to the pan and toss, then top with the clams and another drizzle of oil. Serve.

  • Use fresh clams: Fresh clams will give your dish the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Soak the clams in cold water: This will help to remove any grit or sand from the clams.
  • Cook the clams until they open: Don't overcook the clams, or they will become tough. Once the clams are open, they are done cooking.
  • Use a good quality red pesto: The red pesto is the key ingredient in this dish, so be sure to use a good quality pesto. You can make your own pesto or use a store-bought pesto.
  • Don't overcook the linguine: The linguine should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley: Fresh parsley will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.

Conclusion:

This linguine with red pesto clam sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of the red pesto, the clams, and the linguine is simply delicious. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
