PASTA WITH WHITE CLAM SAUCE



Pasta with White Clam Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 5 to 6 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 very large chowder clams, each about 8 to 10 ounces
1 little bottled clam juice (if necessary)
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
6 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 1/2 pounds small Manilla clams, washed
1/4 cup very finely chopped parsley
1 pound thin, dried pasta, such as capellini

Steps:

  • Put up 6 quarts of water to boil in a large pot.
  • Open the chowder clams, making sure to catch all the clam juice. Mince the clams and reserve them. Measure the juice; it should come to about 2 cups. If it doesn't, make up the difference with bottled clam juice. Then add 1/2 cup water, making 2 1/2 cups liquid in all.
  • Pour the olive oil into a wide heavy pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and saute for 4 to 5 minutes or until the garlic just starts to turn gold. Add a little clam juice to loosen the garlic then add the rest of the 2 1/2 cups. Raise heat.
  • Salt the boiling water lightly and add the capellini, stirring well. Cook until just al dente, about 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Simmer the clam juice in its pot for two minutes. Raise heat and add the Manilla clams. Cover. Within two minutes or so, their shells should swing open; remove the Manilla clams from the pot and place them in a bowl. Turn heat to low under clam juice in pot and add the reserved, raw, minced clams. Cook very gently for 1/2 minute.
  • The pasta should be done at this point. Spill the pasta into a colander and place the cooking pot over a low flame. Return the pasta to the cooking pot. Add 2/3 of the clam juice, plus the liquid that has collected in the bowl of Manilla clams. Add 3 tablespoons of the minced parsley. Stir to blend, about one minute. Divide pasta among 5 to 6 individual pasta bowls and top with the remaining clam juice, the remaining parsley, and the Manilla clams. Serve immediately.

PASTA WITH WHITE WINE CLAM SAUCE



Pasta With White Wine Clam Sauce image

This is a light, delicious clam sauce in a white wine sauce. I used 1/2 of a very large (51 oz) can of chopped clams, which I bought at a warehouse store, and a moderately good white wine. I used the hollow tubed thick spaghetti, perciatelli, so the flavor of the sauce permeates the pasta. Prepare your ingredients for the sauce while the water is boiling. After the water for pasta is boiling, this recipe takes only minutes to put together. I adapted this recipe from one given to me by a friend whose mother was an embassy chef.

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 30m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

25 ounces clams, canned with their juice
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil
10 -15 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup white wine
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons flour
3/4 lb perciatelli (hollow tube spaghetti)
1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water with a dash of salt to a boil, and add perciatelli, and cook until al dente. Drain pasta, but reserve some of pasta water in case you need to thin the sauce.
  • In a large skillet, over a medium heat, heat the olive oil until warmed, but not smoking.
  • Add garlic and stir to prevent burning, cooking until garlic releases scent, then add parsley and continue to cook for another minute or two.
  • Add about 1 cup of clam juice from canned clams, white wine, and salt.
  • If desired, add pepper flakes.
  • Cook until bubbling.
  • Mix flour with about 1/2 cup cold clam juice or wine, and then stir into the bubbling sauce, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens.
  • Turn heat down to low, and add clams and cook over low heat for 5 minutes to gently heat clams. You may need to add more clam juice or a little pasta water. Taste to correct seasoning, and add more salt if you want.
  • Pour drained perciatelli into the skillet, and mix well.
  • Add squeeze of fresh lemon.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams: Fresh clams have a briny, sweet flavor that is essential to a good white clam sauce. Make sure to scrub the clams thoroughly before cooking to remove any sand or grit.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the clams, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from steaming properly and will make them tough.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The white wine used in the sauce should be a dry, crisp wine. Avoid using a sweet or fruity wine, as this will overpower the delicate flavor of the clams.
  • Add some herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, or thyme, can add a lot of flavor to the sauce. Add them towards the end of cooking so that they don't lose their flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Pasta with white clam sauce is best served immediately. The sauce will thicken as it sits, so if you need to make it ahead of time, be sure to reheat it gently before serving.

Conclusion:

Pasta with white clam sauce is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its briny, sweet flavor and creamy sauce, it's a dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
