Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

48 medium (blank)s littleneck clams, scrubbed and rinsed
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
¼ cup Vidalia onion, diced
¾ pound bulk hot Italian sausage
8 large cloves garlic, minced, divided
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 cup dry white wine
1 (24 ounce) jar Classico® Tomato and Basil Sauce
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons shaved Parmesan cheese
1 French baguette, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
1 pinch Cracked black pepper
1 pinch Coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • Rinse clams in a strainer to remove any sand.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot (5-quart) over medium to low heat. Add the diced onions, stirring often, until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the sausage and garlic, red pepper flakes, and fennel. Cook until sausage is no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Drain oil.
  • Increase the heat to medium high. Pour in the wine and bring to a boil until it has reduced to about 3 tablespoons, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the Classico® Tomato & Basil sauce and bring to a quick boil. Add the clams, cover, and cook until clam shells open, 8 to 10 minutes. Check often to avoid overcooking.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Mix together remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, salt, and cracked pepper. Brush mixture on both sides of the baguette slices. Arrange slices on a baking sheet.
  • Bake until its golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Ladle the clams and sauce into bowls; top with fresh parsley and shaved parmesan cheese. Serve with the crostini.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. When choosing clams, look for ones that are tightly closed and have no cracks or chips in their shells. The sausage should be fresh and flavorful. Choose a marinara sauce that you enjoy the taste of, or make your own from scratch.
  • Don't overcook the clams. Clams are delicate and can easily become tough if they are overcooked. Cook them just until they open, about 5 minutes. If you overcook them, they will become rubbery and chewy.
  • Serve the dish immediately. Clams and sausage in spicy marinara is best served hot, right out of the pan. Serve it with crusty bread or crostini for dipping. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Experiment with different variations. This recipe is a great starting point, but you can experiment with different variations to create your own unique dish. Try using different types of sausage, such as Italian sausage or chorizo. You can also add other vegetables to the dish, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms. And if you like a spicy dish, you can add more red pepper flakes or chili powder to the sauce.

Conclusion:

Clams and sausage in spicy marinara is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck. With its combination of fresh clams, flavorful sausage, and spicy marinara sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
