1 pound linguini
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 to 6 anchovies
1 pint small cherry tomatoes
1 red onion, finely chopped

Black pepper
1 cup dry white wine

Linguine with Clams, Cherry Tomatoes and Basil image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 1 large or 2 small servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup dry white wine
1 dozen littleneck clams, soaked in ice water and scrubbed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces linguine
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil, chiffonade

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large saute pan with a tight-fitting lid over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes and saute until fragrant; don't let the garlic brown. Add the cherry tomatoes, white wine and clams, increase the heat to high and cover the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the clams have opened, about 8 minutes. As the clams open, transfer them to a large bowl. When all the clams are removed, reduce the heat to medium-low and swirl in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.

Using tongs, transfer the linguine to the saute pan with the clam juice and toss to coat. Turn off the heat and add the clams and any juices that have collected in the bowl, the lemon zest and half of the basil. Using tongs, turn the linguine to coat it with the sauce. Top with the remaining basil. Serve immediately.

LINGUINE WITH CLAMS, ROASTED TOMATOES AND CARAMELIZED GARLIC



Linguine With Clams, Roasted Tomatoes and Caramelized Garlic image

Here is a very cool recipe that calls for roasting cherry tomatoes with garlic and oil, then using that mixture as the base of a pasta sauce heavy with clams. The juxtaposition of the slick linguine with the roasted, caramelized tomatoes and garlic, as well as the soft, briny clams, is an uncommon delight. Work hard to make sure not to overcook the pasta, so that it may finish in the sauce.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

14 garlic cloves
2 pints cherry tomatoes, a mix of colors is nice
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Salt
1 pound dry linguine
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed
1/4 cup torn mint leaves

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Smash and peel 8 garlic cloves; peel and finely chop the remaining 6. Toss the smashed garlic with the tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of oil, fine sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread the tomatoes out in a layer in one or two baking pans (make sure they aren't too crowded, so they don't steam) and roast tomatoes, tossing occasionally, until bursting, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In a large pot of heavily salted boiling water, cook the pasta until it is 2 minutes from being done to taste. Drain.
  • Return the pasta pot to medium-high heat. Warm 4 tablespoons oil in the pot. Add the chopped garlic and red pepper flakes; cook for 30 seconds. Add the wine and let simmer 2 minutes. Stir in the roasted tomatoes and garlic. Add the clams. Cover the pot and cook until the clams open, 5 to 10 minutes. Use tongs to transfer open clams to a bowl; discard any that do not open.
  • Add the pasta and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper to the sauce in the pot. Cook, tossing, until pasta is just cooked through. Return the clams to the pot and toss with the pasta. Divide mixture among serving bowls. Garnish with mint and drizzle with more oil.

CLAM SAUCE WITH LINGUINE



Clam Sauce with Linguine image

This is a super fast and easy recipe. One of my favorites. Even my kids love it. Though sometimes I use 1 1/2 pounds of noodles. Fettuccine can also be used. Tastes even better with fresh baked rolls or French bread and a garden salad. For the special occasion have a nice glass of red wine with it.

Linguine and Clams with Tomato-Fennel Salsa image

Categories     Pasta     Tomato     Low Fat     Clam     Fennel     White Wine     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups chopped seeded tomatoes (about 4 large)
1/2 cup chopped fresh fennel bulb
1/4 cup chopped red onion
3 tablespoons (packed) chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
1/2 teaspoon (packed) grated orange peel
2 cups dry white wine
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon salt
1 large garlic clove, crushed
30 littleneck clams, scrubbed
12 ounces linguine

Steps:

  • Combine tomatoes, chopped fennel, red onion, basil, olive oil and orange peel in medium bowl. Season salsa with salt and pepper.
  • Bring wine, fennel seeds, salt and garlic to boil in very large pot. Reduce heat, cover tightly and simmer 10 minutes to blend flavors. Add clams. Increase heat to high, cover and cook until clams open, about 7 minutes (discard any clams that do not open.) Using slotted spoon, transfer clams to bowl. Strain clam cooking liquid through fine strainer; return to same pot. Boil until liquid is reduced to 1 2/3 cups, about 7 minutes. Add tomato salsa and bring to simmer. Remove from heat. Meanwhile, cook linguine in large pot with tomato mixture. Season with salt and pepper; toss to blend. Add clams; stir over medium heat until heated through, about 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the clams. This will prevent them from steaming properly and will make them tough.
  • Be careful not to overcook the clams. They should be cooked just until they open, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. This will add flavor and richness to your sauce.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add other vegetables, such as zucchini or mushrooms, to your sauce or use different types of seafood, such as shrimp or scallops.

Conclusion:

Linguine with Tomato Basil Clam Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
