This is as delicious with mussels as it is with clams. Offer a simple green salad afterward, and pears and a wedge of Italian cheese for dessert.

Yield 2 servings; can be doubled or tripled

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes, drained
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 red onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, minced

Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried, crumbled
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 pound fresh clams
8 ounces linguine

Steps:

  • Gently squeeze tomatoes to remove juices, then chop. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until soft, about 4 minutes. Add dried red pepper and stir 20 seconds. Mix in tomatoes and simmer until sauce thickens, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in half of marjoram and half of parsley. Add clams to sauce. Cover and cook sauce until clams open, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook linguine in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain well. Transfer to large bowl. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and toss to coat. Pour clams and sauce over, discarding any clams that do not open. Sprinkle with remaining chopped fresh herbs.

Categories     Pasta     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Basil     Clam     Summer     Simmer     Bon Appétit     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped jalapeño chili
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 6.5-ounce cans chopped clams
1/2 cup whipping cream
12 ounces linguine, freshly cooked
6 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, chili and oregano to skillet. Sauté until onion is tender, about 6 minutes. Add clams with their juices and cream. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 4 minutes. Add pasta and 4 tablespoons basil; toss until sauce coats pasta, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer pasta to large bowl. Sprinkle with remaining basil.

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood: Clams and mussels should be alive and have tightly closed shells. If any shells are open, tap them gently to see if they close. If they don't, discard them.
  • Clean the seafood thoroughly: Scrub the clams and mussels under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Remove the beards from the mussels by pulling them out with your fingers.
  • Use a large pot: You'll need a large pot to cook the pasta, seafood, and sauce. Make sure the pot is big enough to hold all of the ingredients comfortably.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the pasta won't cook evenly and the seafood will be steamed instead of sautéed.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the texture of pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Use a flavorful white wine: The white wine you use to make the sauce should be flavorful and dry. A good option is a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
  • Add the seafood at the end: The seafood only needs to cook for a few minutes, so add it to the sauce towards the end of cooking.
  • Serve immediately: Spicy linguine with clams and mussels is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the seafood is still tender.

Conclusion:

Spicy linguine with clams and mussels is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood pasta dish. It's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or for a special occasion. With its combination of spicy, savory, and briny flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
