Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound spaghetti, linguine or other pasta
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
8 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
36 littleneck clams, well scrubbed
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon hot pepper flakes
Finely grated zest of 2 lemons
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Fill a large stockpot three-quarters full of water, and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, and add pasta. Boil until pasta is al dente, 7 to 8 minutes, and drain well. While pasta is cooking, prepare sauce.
  • In a large skillet over medium-low heat, heat olive oil. Add garlic, and saute just until garlic is translucent, about 2 minutes. Add clams and wine, and cover immediately. Raise heat to medium-high. Shake pan often, and check clams after 4 minutes. If any have opened, transfer them to a bowl so they do not overcook. Simmer remaining clams until all have opened.
  • In a large serving bowl, combine clams and broth from pan. Add pepper flakes, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Add drained pasta, and toss well. Serve in soup bowls, accompanied by hot sourdough toast.

Not bad! I wasn't a huge fan of the spicy kick, but the clams were cooked well and the sauce was tasty.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of clams, but I'm so glad I did! The clams were cooked perfectly and the sauce was amazing. I loved the spicy kick from the red pepper flakes.
