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.

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 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.

CLAMS IN GARLIC SAUCE



Clams In Garlic Sauce image

Provided by Marian Burros

Categories     dinner, quick, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 shallots, peeled and sliced
3 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
5 sprigs Italian parsley
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 pounds Maine butter clams (or littlenecks or mussels)
1 cup dry white wine
4 cups bottled clam juice or chicken broth, or more if desired
1 cup drained garlic confit (recipe follows)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Oil from garlic confit, optional
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound linguine, cooked al dente

Steps:

  • In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add shallots, garlic, thyme, parsley and bay leaf. Saute until shallots are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add clams and wine, raise heat to high, and cover. Boil until all of the clams have opened, about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer clams to a bowl, then cover.
  • Add clam juice to the saucepan, and boil over high heat until liquid is reduced to about 1 cup. Remove and discard bay leaf, parsley and thyme sprigs. Transfer contents of pan to a blender, and add garlic confit and lemon juice. With blender running, add remaining 1/2 cup olive oil in a slow steady stream until sauce is smooth and emulsified. For extra garlic flavor, add some of the oil from garlic confit if desired.
  • Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust thickness of sauce with more clam juice, if desired. Toss with linguine, and top with clams. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality clams. Fresh clams will have a briny, slightly sweet flavor and a firm texture. Avoid clams that are cracked or have open shells.
  • Soak the clams in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove any sand or grit from the clams.
  • Cook the clams over high heat. This will help to prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the clams. This will give the clams plenty of room to open up.
  • Add white wine, garlic, and butter to the skillet. These ingredients will add flavor to the clams and create a delicious sauce.
  • Cook the clams until they are just opaque. Overcooking will make them tough.
  • Serve the clams immediately with linguini, toasted bread, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Linguini with clams and garlic butter sauce is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please everyone at the table. The briny, slightly sweet flavor of the clams pairs perfectly with the rich, buttery sauce. This dish is also a great way to get your daily dose of seafood, which is packed with protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and other nutrients. So next time you're looking for a delicious and healthy seafood meal, give linguini with clams and garlic butter sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
