Fregola with Clams image

You probably won't have to salt the sauce itself since the clams are so briny; taste right before serving.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups fregola (about 10 ounces)
Kosher salt
1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
24 littleneck clams, scrubbed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Cook fregola in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, 6-8 minutes; drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1/2 cup oil in a Dutch oven or other large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Carefully add wine; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
  • Add clams, cover, and cook, transferring clams to a bowl as they open (discard any that do not open), 6-8 minutes. Add fregola to cooking liquid in pot and cook, stirring, until fregola is tender and sauce is slightly thickened (there should still be plenty of liquid), about 2 minutes. Return clams to pot and cook until warmed through.
  • Divide fregola and clams among bowls, drizzle with oil, and top with parsley and lemon zest.

Overall, this was a good recipe. I would definitely make it again, but I would make a few adjustments to the cooking times and the amount of salt.

The fregola was a bit overcooked for my taste. I would recommend cooking it for a minute or two less.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the sauce.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this dish. The fregola was cooked perfectly and the clams were tender and flavorful. The sauce was also very good.

Delicious! The fregola was cooked perfectly and the clams were plump and juicy. The sauce was flavorful and light, with a hint of brininess from the clams.
