Steps:
- In a deep skillet cook the shallot and the garlic in the butter over moderate heat, stirring, until they are pale golden, add the flour, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the wine, the bottled clam juice, and the clams with the juice and simmer the sauce, stirring, for 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley, the thyme, and salt and pepper to taste and keep the sauce warm. In a kettle of salted boiling water boil the linguine until it is al dente, drain it, and in the skillet toss it with the clam sauce.
Tips:
- Fresh clams are key: Use the freshest clams you can find for the best flavor and texture. Look for clams that are tightly closed and have a briny smell.
- Purge the clams: Before cooking, purge the clams to remove any sand or grit. Place the clams in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 20-30 minutes. Then, drain the water and rinse the clams thoroughly.
- Use a large pot: The clams will release a lot of liquid as they cook, so be sure to use a large pot to prevent them from boiling over.
- Don't overcook the clams: Clams only take a few minutes to cook, so be careful not to overcook them or they will become tough and rubbery. Cook the clams just until they open, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Season to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add to the dish will depend on your personal preference. Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed.
