SPAGHETTI WITH CANNED CLAMS

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound spaghetti
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup dry white wine
Two 6.5-ounce cans minced clams, with liquid
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs, granulated garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toast the breadcrumbs, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
  • Fill a large pot with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and season generously with salt. Add the spaghetti and cook to al dente, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large saute pan or skillet, add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil along with the garlic and red pepper flakes. Turn the heat on low and let cook until fragrant, for a few minutes. Stir in the wine and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the clams, then turn up the heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Use tongs to take the pasta out of the water directly into the pan (this works best when the pasta is a couple minutes away from being done; you want it really al dente so it finishes cooking in the sauce). Use tongs to toss. If dry, add a little pasta water. Add the parsley. Toss until coated in the sauce and the pasta is tender. Serve with the toasted breadcrumbs sprinkled on top.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 lb fresh clams in shells
2 tablespoons white vinegar
8 oz uncooked spaghetti

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality clams. Fresh clams should be tightly closed and smell like the sea. Avoid any clams that are open or have cracked shells.
  • Purge the clams before cooking. Purging 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. Change the water every 10 minutes.
  • Cook the clams over high heat. This will help to prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Use a large skillet or pot. This will help to ensure that the clams have enough room to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet or pot. If you overcrowd the skillet or pot, the clams will not cook evenly.
  • Add the clams to the skillet or pot when the oil is hot. This will help to prevent the clams from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the clams until they are just opaque. Overcooked clams will be tough and chewy.
  • Serve the clams immediately. Clams are best served immediately after they are cooked.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti with clams is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to impress your guests. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect spaghetti with clams at home. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy seafood dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
