CHEF JOHN'S SPAGHETTI WITH RED CLAM SAUCE
Steps:
- Pour olive oil into cold skillet. Add garlic, capers, anchovy paste, and red pepper flakes. Place over medium heat and cook and stir until the oil is infused with the flavors of the mixture, about 5 minutes, taking care not to brown the garlic. Add tomato sauce and rinse jar with 1/4 cup water; add water to skillet. Pour in wine and juice from clams, reserving the clams. Bring to a simmer until slightly reduced and thickened, 7 to 9 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until almost al dente, or about 1 minute less than directed on package. Drain. Return pasta to the pot off heat.
- Stir clams into the sauce. Pour sauce over pasta. Stir; cover the pot to allow it to finish cooking off heat and to allow the pasta will absorb some of the sauce, about 3 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Top with chopped fresh basil and/or parsley.

- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a tablespoon of salt.
- Take about half the clams, choosing the largest ones, and put them in a wide skillet with a lid. Add olive oil, turn heat to high, cover, and cook until clams pop open and release liquid, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, remove clams, and add garlic to liquid in pan. Add a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until garlic is softened and golden. Remove cooked clams from shells, coarsely chop meat, and add back to skillet. Stir. (Empty shells can be discarded.)
- Add bucatini to boiling water, stir, and bring back to a boil.
- Add remaining clams to skillet, cover, and raise heat to high. When clams open, about 3 minutes, stir in tomato sauce and half the parsley. Stir, cover, and reduce heat to very low.
- When pasta is cooked, drain, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with black pepper. Add pasta to skillet with clams, sprinkle with pepper flakes, and toss until well combined. Sprinkle with remaining parsley and serve in skillet.

Steps:
- In a large covered pot, heat a gallon of water with a tablespoon of salt to a boil. When it boils, add the pasta, stir well, and cover until it returns to the boil. Uncover and boil until just tender to the bite all the way through.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a skillet (with a lid) large enough to hold the pasta later on, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and slowly cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the claims with their juice, wine, tomatoes, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper, to taste, keeping in mind that the claims are quite salty. Stir, reduce the heat to simmer and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Reserving 1/2 cup cooking water, drain the pasta in a colander. Add the drained pasta, parsley, butter and salt and pepper to taste to the sauce and mix well, adding a few tablespoons of pasta cooking water if needed to coat the pasta evenly. Cover and cook 1 minute. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Separate and peel garlic cloves. (To facilitate, you can soak the separated cloves in enough warm water to cover for 1/2 hour). Cut the peeled cloves into broad, thin slices.
- Place 12 tablespoons of the olive oil in a very wide saute pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sliced garlic, reserving about 4 cloves worth of slices for later. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is almost brown (about 5 minutes).
- While the garlic is cooking, place the contents of the 2 cans of tomatoes in a colander and, working over a sink, squeeze the tomatoes in your hands until the tomatoes are a coarse pulp.
- When the garlic is almost brown, add tomatoes to the pan. Add 1/2 cup shredded basil. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, uncovered, then remove from heat and reserve.
- Open the 12 large clams with a clam knife, reserving juice. Chop coarsely and reserve.
- Add the spaghetti to a large pot of salted boiling water. Cook until al dente (about 10 minutes). When pasta is done, drain through colander. Toss the hot linguine in colander with a little olive oil.
- Place the remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil in the now empty pasta pot over high heat. Add the reserved 4 cloves of garlic cut in thin slices. Saute until almost brown. Add Manilla clams. Add another 1/2 cup of shredded basil. Add half of the reserved tomato sauce. Add a little bit of the reserved clam juice. Cover the pot and cook until the clams open. As soon as the clams open, add chopped clams and spaghetti. Mix well. Add additional sauce if desired. Add the remaining basil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Turn out onto large pasta platter. Garnish with extra sprigs of basil. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a 12- to 14-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then cook garlic with red-pepper flakes, stirring, until pale golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes with their juice, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and briskly simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Cook spaghetti in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (3 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water) until al dente.
- Meanwhile, add clams (in shells) to sauce and cook, covered, shaking skillet occasionally, until clams open wide, 6 to 10 minutes (discard any clams that remain unopened after 10 minutes). Transfer clams (still in shells) as cooked to a large shallow bowl. If sauce is too watery, boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Drain spaghetti. Return clams to sauce and add pasta, tossing
Tips:
- Use fresh clams: Fresh clams are essential for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but they won't be as good.
- Purge the clams: Purging the clams helps to remove any sand or grit from the clams. To purge the clams, place them in a bowl of cold water and let them sit for 30 minutes. Then, drain the water and rinse the clams.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is the base of the sauce, so it's important to use a good quality olive oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is made from olives that have been grown in Italy.
- Don't overcook the clams: Clams only take a few minutes to cook. If you overcook them, they will become tough and chewy.
- Serve immediately: Spaghetti with Brooklyn Red Clam Sauce is best served immediately. The clams will continue to cook in the sauce, so if you let it sit for too long, the clams will become overcooked.
Conclusion:
Spaghetti with Brooklyn Red Clam Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of clams, tomatoes, and garlic is a classic combination that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Spaghetti with Brooklyn Red Clam Sauce a try. You won't be disappointed.
