LINGUINE WITH HERBED CLAM SAUCE



Linguine with Herbed Clam Sauce image

Categories     Herb     Pasta     Shellfish     Quick & Easy     Clam     White Wine     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup chopped shallot
2 garlic cloves forced through a garlic press
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 cup bottled clam juice
a 10-ounce can whole baby clams including the juice
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves or 3/4 teaspoon dried, crumbled
1/2 pound linguine

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.
