Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound dried spaghetti
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced
5 to 7 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 1/2 pounds Manila clams, scrubbed clean
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced into small cubes
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, zested, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring to a boil 6 quarts of salted water. Add pasta, stirring constantly in the beginning to prevent it from sticking together. Cook until al dente, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large saute pan. When almost smoking, add shallots and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the clams and wine. Cover and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes or until most clams have opened.
  • Add 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. Whisk in butter to thicken sauce slightly.

  • Pour pasta into large serving bowl. Zest lemon over the dish, being carefull not to zest the white part of the lemon, which is bitter. Garnish with remaining parsley. Serve immediately.

CHEF JOHN'S SPAGHETTI WITH RED CLAM SAUCE



Chef John's Spaghetti with Red Clam Sauce image

This is one of my 'go to' recipes and it takes only about 15 minutes from start to finish. The only prep work really is mashing the garlic. The sauce is great on any pasta, but I prefer angel hair or spaghetti.

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons capers
1 tablespoon anchovy paste

Chopped fresh basil leaves or parsley

Bring to a simmer until slightly reduced and thickened, 7 to 9 minutes.

SPAGHETTI WITH CLAMS



Spaghetti With Clams image

For me, spaghetti with clams has to be ''white,'' which is to say without a tomato in sight -- and actually the first time I ate it this way was not in Italy but in one of my favorite Italian restaurants in New York, Da Silvano. This was a very long time ago, and I've been hooked ever since. I have specified amounts for a single portion here, because I feel cooking food you love is never something that should be reserved for company. Besides, this is quick and easy to make, and it's important sometimes to give yourself the treat of the perfect supper alone.

Categories     dinner, quick, pastas, appetizer, main course

Time 15m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 8

Salt
8 to 12 littleneck or other small clams in the shell, scrubbed
1/4 pound spaghetti
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 to 1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 dried red chili pepper or 1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
1/3 cup Noilly Prat or other vermouth or white wine
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, soak clams in cold water.
  • Add spaghetti to boiling water, and cook until slightly underdone; pasta will finish cooking in sauce. Meanwhile, place a large saucepan over medium-low heat, and add olive oil, garlic and chili pepper. Sauté gently, reducing heat if necessary so garlic does not brown.
  • Add vermouth and clams, and cover. Clams should open in about 2 minutes. (If pasta is ready first, drain it and toss with a small amount of olive oil.) Add hot drained pasta, cover, and shake pot gently. Allow to simmer for another 1 or 2 minutes until it is done to taste.
  • Discard any clams that have not opened. Add half the parsley, and shake pan to distribute evenly. Transfer to a plate or bowl, and sprinkle with remaining parsley.

MARK'S SPAGHETTI WITH BROOKLYN CLAM SAUCE



Mark's Spaghetti with Brooklyn Clam Sauce image

Served at Mark Strausman's NYC restaurant Campagna, this pasta reminds the chef of the Italian restaurants he frequented in 1950's Brooklyn.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1 pound dried spaghetti, or linguine
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
2 cans (6 ounces each) chopped clams, with their juice
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup milled or crushed canned Italian plum tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon hot red-pepper flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter

Steps:

  • In a large covered pot, heat a gallon of water to a boil. When water boils, add 1 tablespoon salt and pasta, stir well, and cover until boiling. 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 oil over medium-low heat. Add garlic, and slowly cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add clams with their juice, wine, tomatoes, red-pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind that the clams are quite salty. Stir, reduce the heat, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Reserving 1/2 cup cooking water, drain 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.

SPAGHETTI WITH CLAMS



Spaghetti with Clams image

Spaghetti with clams is very different from spaghetti with clam sauce. The former is a dish with a light, fragrant dressing tossed with whole clams; in my opinion, it's the only way to make this dish. It's also beautiful on the table; there's something about the shells combined with pasta that just looks so satisfying. And satisfying it is. You could also use mussels, for a twist, or small New Zealand cockles, whose refined shape and delicate flavor make for a more elegant version.

Yield 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Salt
1 pound dried spaghetti
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, finely chopped
5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 1/2 pounds Manila clams, scrubbed clean
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Freshly grated zest of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring constantly in the beginning to prevent it from sticking together, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan, heat the oil over a medium-high flame. When almost smoking, add the shallots and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté until the garlic is golden brown and the shallots are translucent, about 3 minutes (being careful not to burn the garlic). Add the clams, wine, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon each of sea salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until most of the clams have opened, about 6 minutes (discard any shellfish that do not open). Whisk in the butter to thicken the sauce slightly.
  • Drain the spaghetti, reserving 1/3 cup of the cooking liquid. Do not rinse the spaghetti with water; you want to retain the natural starches that help the sauce adhere to the spaghetti. Toss the spaghetti with the clam mixture in the pan to coat. Add enough of the reserved cooking liquid to moisten.
  • Transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl. Sprinkle the lemon zest over the pasta. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This is especially important for the clams, which should be fresh and briny. You can also use frozen clams, but make sure to thaw them thoroughly before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the clams. This will prevent them from steaming evenly and may result in some of them not opening.
  • Be careful not to overcook the clams. They should be cooked just until they open, otherwise they will become tough and chewy.
  • Use a good quality white wine for the sauce. A dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, will work well.
  • Add chopped parsley or basil to the sauce for a fresh, herbaceous flavor.
  • Serve the spaghettini with clam sauce immediately. This dish is best enjoyed fresh and hot.

Conclusion:

Spaghettini with clam sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of fresh clams, white wine, and herbs creates a light and flavorful sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.
