This is one of my all-time favorite meals. What makes the clam sauce so flavorful is the chicken bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, and baby portobello mushrooms. I recommend having this with some garlic bread and a nice glass of red wine. A very satisfying meal.

Provided by Gigirox

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 Tb butter
2 cloves garlic, pressed/minced
2 Tb flour
1 cup half-n-half
2 cans minced clams w/ liquid
1 chicken bouillon
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp thyme
4 Tb fresh parsley (2tsp dry)
White Wine- optional

1 # linguine pasta- prepared according to package
Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Fresh Parsley for garnish

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams: Fresh clams have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen clams. If you can't find fresh clams, frozen clams will work in a pinch.
  • Soak the clams: Soaking the clams in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking will help to remove any grit or sand.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The white wine you use in the sauce will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Choose a dry, crisp white wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
  • Don't overcook the clams: Clams only take a few minutes to cook. Overcooking them will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Serve immediately: Linguine and clam sauce is best served immediately after it is made. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so if you need to make it ahead of time, be sure to reheat it gently before serving.

Conclusion:

Linguine and clam sauce is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of fresh clams, white wine, garlic, and olive oil is simply delicious. Whether you're making it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this dish is sure to impress.
