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 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 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.

Provided by Kay Chun

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams: Fresh clams have a briny, sweet flavor that is essential for a delicious linguini and clam sauce. Avoid using frozen clams, as they will not have the same flavor or texture.
  • Soak the clams: Soaking the clams in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking will help to remove any impurities or grit.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The white wine used in the sauce should be of good quality, as it will contribute to the flavor of the dish. A dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, is a good choice.
  • Don't overcook the clams: Clams are very delicate and can easily overcook. Cook them just until they open, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Serve immediately: Linguini and clam sauce is best served immediately, while the clams are still tender and the sauce is hot.

Conclusion:

Linguini and clam sauce is a classic Italian dish that is both delicious and easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can make a restaurant-quality linguini and clam sauce at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy seafood dinner, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
