LINGUINE WITH CLAMS, ROASTED TOMATOES AND CARAMELIZED GARLIC



Linguine With Clams, Roasted Tomatoes and Caramelized Garlic image

Here is a very cool recipe that calls for roasting cherry tomatoes with garlic and oil, then using that mixture as the base of a pasta sauce heavy with clams. The juxtaposition of the slick linguine with the roasted, caramelized tomatoes and garlic, as well as the soft, briny clams, is an uncommon delight. Work hard to make sure not to overcook the pasta, so that it may finish in the sauce.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

14 garlic cloves
2 pints cherry tomatoes, a mix of colors is nice
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Salt
1 pound dry linguine
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed
1/4 cup torn mint leaves

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Smash and peel 8 garlic cloves; peel and finely chop the remaining 6. Toss the smashed garlic with the tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of oil, fine sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread the tomatoes out in a layer in one or two baking pans (make sure they aren't too crowded, so they don't steam) and roast tomatoes, tossing occasionally, until bursting, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In a large pot of heavily salted boiling water, cook the pasta until it is 2 minutes from being done to taste. Drain.
  • Return the pasta pot to medium-high heat. Warm 4 tablespoons oil in the pot. Add the chopped garlic and red pepper flakes; cook for 30 seconds. Add the wine and let simmer 2 minutes. Stir in the roasted tomatoes and garlic. Add the clams. Cover the pot and cook until the clams open, 5 to 10 minutes. Use tongs to transfer open clams to a bowl; discard any that do not open.
  • Add the pasta and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper to the sauce in the pot. Cook, tossing, until pasta is just cooked through. Return the clams to the pot and toss with the pasta. Divide mixture among serving bowls. Garnish with mint and drizzle with more oil.

Linguine with Clams, Cherry Tomatoes and Basil image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 1 large or 2 small servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup dry white wine
1 dozen littleneck clams, soaked in ice water and scrubbed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 ounces linguine
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil, chiffonade

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large saute pan with a tight-fitting lid over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes and saute until fragrant; don't let the garlic brown. Add the cherry tomatoes, white wine and clams, increase the heat to high and cover the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the clams have opened, about 8 minutes. As the clams open, transfer them to a large bowl. When all the clams are removed, reduce the heat to medium-low and swirl in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package direction. Using tongs, transfer the linguine to the saute pan with the clam juice and toss to coat. Turn off the heat and add the clams and any juices that have collected in the bowl, the lemon zest and half of the basil. Using tongs, turn the linguine to coat it with the sauce. Top with the remaining basil. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Fresh seafood is key: Use the freshest clams you can find for the best flavor. Look for clams that are tightly closed and have no cracks or damage to the shells.
  • Purge the clams: Soaking the clams in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking helps to remove any sand or grit. This will ensure that your linguine dish is grit-free.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The white wine you use for cooking should be one that you would enjoy drinking. A dry or semi-dry white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, will work well.
  • Don't overcook the clams: Clams cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery. Cook the clams just until they open, which usually takes only a few minutes.
  • Serve immediately: Linguine with clams and tomatoes is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Linguine with clams and tomatoes is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its combination of fresh seafood, flavorful sauce, and al dente pasta, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party or family gathering. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
