Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup good olive oil
1 cup whole peeled garlic cloves (24 cloves)
2 (28-ounce) cans whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes
2 teaspoons whole fennel seeds, chopped
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/3 cup dry red wine, such as Chianti
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup julienned fresh basil leaves, plus extra for serving
1 pound dry penne rigate, such as DeCecco
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium (10-inch) pot or Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset, warm the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the garlic has softened and is lightly browned.
  • Meanwhile, drain the tomatoes, place them in a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and pulse until they're roughly chopped. With a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic to the food processor and pulse again to chop the garlic. Pour the tomato mixture into the pot with the olive oil, add the fennel, red pepper flakes, red wine, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in the basil, taste for seasonings (it will be very spicy!), and keep warm over very low heat.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a full boil. Add 2 tablespoons kosher salt and the penne and cook according to the directions of the package.
  • Two minutes before the pasta is al dente, using a wire or spider strainer, lift the pasta out of the boiling water and add it to the sauce, along with 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until the pasta is al dente. Spoon the pasta into low shallow bowls, sprinkle with extra basil and Parmesan cheese, and serve hot.

2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh basil, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • 6. Serve over pasta. Sprinkle with basil.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams: Fresh clams will have a briny, slightly sweet flavor and a firm texture. Avoid clams that are cracked or have open shells, as these may be dead or spoiled.
  • Purge the clams: Purging the clams helps to remove any sand or grit from the inside of the shells. To purge the clams, place them in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 30 minutes. Change the water every 10 minutes or so.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil. Look for an olive oil that is dark green in color and has a fruity flavor.
  • Don't overcook the clams: Clams cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked clams will become tough and chewy.
  • Serve immediately: Clams arrabbiata is best served immediately after it is made. The clams will be at their best when they are still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Clams arrabbiata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
