Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 cups water
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 red Thai chile pepper, seeded and chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 pounds verace clams in shell, scrubbed
¾ cup white wine
12 ounces spaghetti
1 teaspoon lemon zest
½ cup chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a stockpot; add salt. Reduce heat to a simmer.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil, followed by chile pepper and garlic. Cook and stir gently until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove garlic and chile pepper; discard. Add clams to the fragrant oil.
  • Pour wine over the clams and cover immediately. Let simmer until clams have opened, about 7 minutes. Remove clams using a slotted spoon to a large bowl. Cover to avoid losing their steam. Discard any unopened clams.
  • Pour four ladles of salted water into the skillet with the juice of the clams. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add spaghetti; move around with a pasta fork to keep from sticking together. Cook, adding a ladle or two of salted water as needed to keep spaghetti barely covered, until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Add clams and sprinkle in lemon zest. Give the skillet a hefty toss to gently mix the clams in the thickened sauce.
  • Divide into four pasta bowls. Cover with parsley and serve immediately with empty plates on the side for the shells while eating.

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup white wine
2 pounds cockles, Manila clams, or littlenecks scrubbed
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a 5 quart pot. Season lightly with salt; add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until about 2 minutes before tender. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds manila clams
1 pound spaghetti
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon crushed chili flakes, plus more for serving
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the clams to a large skillet. Cover with a lid and heat over medium-high heat. Steam for 3 minutes, and then remove the lid and transfer all opened clams to a bowl to cool. Cover the skillet and cook again for 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove the lid and again transfer all opened clams to the bowl. Repeat another time, if necessary, until most clams have opened. Discard any clams that do not open.
  • Pour the broth from the skillet into another bowl and set aside. Once cool enough to handle, remove the meat from three-quarters of the opened clams and chop the meat finely. Discard their shells. Try to capture any of the juice and combine with the reserved broth.
  • Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook until al dente, 1 minute less than the package instructions call for.
  • In the same large skillet the clams were cooked in, add the olive oil and heat until hot. Saute the chili flakes and garlic. As soon as the garlic is fragrant, add the white wine and cook until reduced, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the chopped clams along with the clams still in their shells to the skillet with some of the reserved juices (about 1/2 cup). Cook until reduced slightly, and then season with salt and pepper. Toss together thoroughly.
  • Drain the spaghetti and add to the sauce. Toss over high heat for a few moments until the pasta is well coated.
  • Serve the dressed pasta with the chopped parsley, a drizzle of olive oil and an extra touch of crushed chili flakes.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon mashed Garlic Confit (from about 6 cloves)
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Kosher salt
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces spaghetti
6 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
8 ounces cherry tomatoes (1 1/4 cups), halved
1 cup dry white wine, such as Soave
1/2 cup bottled clam juice, such as Bar Harbor
2 pounds very small clams, such as cockles
3/4 cup packed coarsely chopped parsley, plus more for serving
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Roasted-Garlic Butter: Mash together butter, garlic confit, and lemon zest. Season with salt. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 2 weeks, or freeze up to 3 months. (Makes 1/2 cup.)
  • Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until slightly less than al dente, about 2 minutes less than package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat garlic with oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high until just golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, transferring each slice to a plate when browned. Add pepper flakes and tomatoes to skillet; cook until tomatoes soften a bit, about 3 minutes.
  • Add wine and bring to a boil; cook until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add clam juice and return to a boil. Add clams, cover, and cook 20 seconds. Uncover and cook, removing clams to a large bowl as they open, 3 to 4 minutes. Discard unopened clams.
  • Add pasta, parsley, 1/2 cup pasta water, and 3 tablespoons garlic butter to skillet (reserve remaining garlic butter for another use). Cook, stirring, until pasta is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cheese and stir, adding more pasta water as needed to create a silky sauce. Pour over clams; toss to combine. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with garlic slices and more cheese and parsley; serve.
