Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound capellini or angel hair pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chopped shallots
3/4 cup roasted garlic cloves
1 (12-ounce) beer
36 small clams in shells, scrubbed
1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley leaves
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Mixed green salad and bottled dressing, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Cook capellini according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil and butter together in a large skillet. Add shallots and 3/4 cup roasted garlic cloves saute 3 minutes, until shallots are soft. Add beer and bring to a simmer. Add clams, cover and simmer until shells open, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, remove 12 clams and reserve for another meal. Drain capellini, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water and add to clams in skillet, adding the reserved 1/2 cup pasta if necessary to "loosen" the sauce. Simmer 1 minute to heat through. Remove from heat and top with parsley and Parmesan. Serve with a mixed green salad and bottled dressing, if desired.

I would love to try this recipe, but I'm allergic to clams. Do you think it would work with shrimp or mussels instead?

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The clams were a bit gritty, which was disappointing. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too boozy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if there was less white wine in the sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the results were amazing. The clams were tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and creamy. I will definitely be making this dish again.

The drunken clams were an absolute delight! The combination of flavors was perfect, and the clams were cooked to perfection. I served them over cappellini, and it was a hit with my family.
