LINGUINE WITH CLAM SAUCE



Linguine with Clam Sauce image

Linguine with clam sauce is an easy dinner that's full of flavor -- and it's ready in just 20 minutes!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dinner

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 oz dry linguine (or other pasta)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons salted butter
¼ cup finely diced onion
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
2 (6.5 ounce) cans chopped clams, drained, juice reserved
¼ cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley, plus additional for garnish
Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Optional garnish: grated Parmesan cheese; lemon wedges; crushed red pepper flakes; extra parsley

Steps:

  • Cook linguine just until barely al dente, according to package directions. Drain.
  • While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil and butter in large skillet over medium heat. When the butter melts, add the onion and garlic. Sauté garlic and onions until starting to soften, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add ¾ cup of the reserved clam juice, wine, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and gently simmer on low for about 10 minutes (so that the flavors come together and the sauce reduces slightly).
  • Add cooked linguine, clams, and parsley to the skillet. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if necessary. Simmer for about 5 more minutes, until the sauce is mostly absorbed.
  • Serve with grated Parmesan cheese, extra parsley, or fresh lemon wedges.

LINGUINE WITH CLAMS



Linguine with Clams image

Linguine with clams in a garlicky white wine sauce makes an easy and elegant Italian pasta dinner.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
1 pound linguine
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup finely chopped shallots, from 2 shallots
6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc (see note)
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 pounds Littleneck clams (40 to 45), scrubbed
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon lemon zest, from 1 lemon, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice, from 1 lemon, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • In large pot over high heat, bring 4 quarts of water and 2 tablespoons of kosher salt to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package directions until just shy of al dente (the pasta should still be firm to the bite since it will cook another minute or two in the sauce).
  • Meanwhile, in a very large sauté pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil until hot but not smoking. Add the shallots and garlic and sauté until just golden, about 30 seconds. Add the wine, red pepper flakes, ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, clams, and ¼ cup of the parsley; bring to a simmer and cook, covered, until the clams open, 6 to 8 minutes. Discard any unopened clams.
  • Reserving ½ cup of the cooking water, drain the linguine in a colander (do not rinse). Add the pasta to the sauté pan with the clams. (If you don't have room for everything in one pan, transfer the clams to a plate and cover to keep warm. When ready to serve, add them back to the pasta on a serving platter). Increase the heat to medium and cook the linguini with the clams, tossing occasionally, until the pasta absorbs most of the sauce and is just tender, 1 to 2 minutes. If necessary, add some of reserved cooking water to keep moist. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of parsley; toss to coat. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, lemon zest and/or lemon juice, if necessary. Transfer to a serving dish or bowls and serve.
  • Note: When cooking with wine, select a bottle that is inexpensive (under $10) but still good enough to drink. Avoid "cooking wines," which are salty and include additives.

STIR-FRIED CLAMS IN BLACK BEAN SAUCE



Stir-Fried Clams in Black Bean Sauce image

Chinese Stir-fried fresh clams in black bean sauce with garlic, ginger, scallion and cilantro is a classic fermented black bean dish that is perfect for the summer.

Provided by Bill

Categories     Fish and Seafood

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds fresh clams ((scrubbled/washed thoroughly))
2 tablespoons oil
4 slices ginger
3 cloves garlic ((thinly sliced))
1 scallion ((cut into 2-inch pieces))
1 long green pepper ((sliced; you can de-seed if you like))
1 long red pepper ((sliced))
1 tablespoon fermented black beans ((rinsed and drained))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon soy sauce ((optional))
2 tablespoons cornstarch ((mixed into a slurry with 2 tablespoons water))
3 tablespoons cilantro ((chopped))

Steps:

  • Before you do anything, make sure that your clams are washed thoroughly. There's nothing more unpleasant than finding sand in your food. When your ingredients have been prepared and you're ready to cook, heat the oil in your wok over high heat. Add the ginger and allow it to caramelize (about 20 seconds), taking care not to burn it.
  • Next, add the garlic, scallion, peppers and fermented black beans, and stir fry the mixture for about 10 seconds. Add the clams. Pour the Shaoxing wine around the perimeter of the wok, and immediately cover the wok. Cook until the clams begin to open. At this point, the liquid in the wok should be boiling and generating steam when the wok is covered. The time for the clams to cook and open up depends upon the size and type of the clams you are using and how hot you can get your stove. Once a good number of them have opened, remove the cover and give everything a stir.
  • Stir in the sugar, sesame oil, pepper. Discard any of the clams that didn't open. Now taste the sauce. If it's not salty enough, you can add a little bit of soy sauce. Once your satisfied with the flavor of the sauce, add about half of the corn starch slurry to the liquid in the wok and stir. Add more slurry if needed to further thicken the sauce.
  • Stir in the chopped cilantro and gently stir the mixture so the sauce coats the clams.
  • Serve immediately.

LINGUINE WITH CLAM SAUCE



Linguine with Clam Sauce image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound linguine
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
Two 10-ounce cans chopped clams, drained, juice reserved
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup white wine
Juice of 1/2 lemon, plus lemon slices, for garnish
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package directions for al dente. Be careful not to overcook; the pasta should have plenty of bite to it. Drain and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. (Using both olive oil and butter allows you to heat the mixture at a higher heat before it starts to brown.) Add the clams and garlic and stir together. Cook for 3 minutes. Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Cook until the sauce is reduced and less watery, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and stir to melt. Reduce the heat and squeeze in the lemon juice. Pour in the cream and sprinkle in the parsley. This is a very decadent dish! Add some salt and freshly ground black pepper, then stir well and taste for seasoning. Add a splash of reserved clam juice if the sauce needs thinning. Cook over low heat until heated through, about 3 minutes more.
  • Pour the pasta into a serving bowl. Pour on the sauce straight from the skillet, including all the luscious juice, and toss to combine. At this point your kitchen smells like heaven. Top with freshly grated Parmesan and garnish with lemon slices.

CLAMS IN BLACK-BEAN SAUCE



Clams in Black-Bean Sauce image

"Clams in black-bean sauce is another American mainstay: bright, piquant, boasting more loudly of its flavorings than of its clams," Nicole Mones wrote in The New York Times Magazine in 2007. Adapted from her husband, Paul, this recipe comes together quickly. Salted black beans are paired with bright aromatics, a wine-infused broth and briny clams, possibly the best part. As Ms. Mones wrote, "Discovering the baby clams at the bottom in their little bath of broth is the dish's final delight."

LINGUINE WITH CLAM SAUCE



Linguine With Clam Sauce image

Purists may object, but canned clams are a great weeknight pantry stalwart. When fresh ones are out of reach, or when you've decided you need a briny fix, the canned clam is reliable no matter the season. This recipe calls for dry vermouth, which adds a subtle herbaceous layer of flavor. (Vermouth has a long shelf life when stored properly, and it's great to have on hand to make a last-minute pan sauce.) Canned clams are already salty, so be mindful of oversalting the pasta water or the sauce. The dish is finished with lemon zest for brightness and butter for silkiness. The best part? The whole thing can be on the table in the same amount of time it takes to boil water.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, pastas, seafood, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
1 pound linguine or other long pasta, such as linguine fini or spaghetti
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving (optional)
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 to 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup dry vermouth or dry white wine
2 (10-ounce) cans whole baby clams with their juices
Black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons lemon zest (from 1 to 2 lemons)
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley
Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until 2 minutes short of al dente (it will finish cooking in the sauce). Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain pasta.
  • While the pasta cooks, make your sauce: Heat the oil in a deep-sided 12-inch skillet over medium. Add the garlic, red-pepper flakes and oregano and cook until the garlic is pale golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vermouth and simmer until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the clams with their juices and cook until just warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  • Add the cooked pasta directly to the skillet along with the butter and lemon zest and toss until the butter has melted and the pasta is glossy with sauce. If needed, add 1/4 cup reserved pasta water. Stir in half the parsley.
  • Serve pasta topped with a drizzle of olive oil, if desired, and the remaining parsley. Serve lemon wedges alongside if you like.
