Spicy Linguine with Clams and Mussels image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound linguine pasta
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 large or 4 small shallots, sliced
Kosher salt, for seasoning, plus 2 teaspoons
Freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning, plus 1 teaspoon
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup white wine (recommended: Pinot Grigio)
1 cup vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
12 littleneck clams, cleaned
12 mussels, cleaned

Steps:

  • Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large serving bowl. Add the butter and parsley and toss until coated. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Sauce: In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic. Add the wine and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in the broth, red pepper flakes, clams and mussels. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook until all the shellfish have opened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Discard any unopened shellfish.
  • Using tongs, remove the shellfish from the pan and reserve. Season the cooking liquid with 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Pour the shellfish cooking liquid over the pasta and toss well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange the reserved shellfish on top of the pasta and serve.

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.

Chef John's Spaghetti with Red Clam Sauce image

This is one of my 'go to' recipes and it takes only about 15 minutes from start to finish. The only prep work really is mashing the garlic. The sauce is great on any pasta, but I prefer angel hair or spaghetti.

LINGUINE WITH SPICY RED CLAM SAUCE



Linguine With Spicy Red Clam Sauce image

You can make this dish spicier or less spicy simply by adjusting the amount of red pepper flakes. This recipe originally came from a magazine, but I've changed it up a bit over the years. Also, I often make it with just the canned clams when the little fresh ones are not readily available or I'm just cooking from my pantry, so I'm listing them as "optional" in the ingredients, but use them if you can, because they bring this dish to a new level!

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.

SPICY CLAM PASTA WITH BACON, PEAS AND BASIL



Spicy Clam Pasta With Bacon, Peas and Basil image

In a pinch, canned baby clams make a very decent pasta ingredient. There is great variation between different brands of canned clams - some are not salty at all, so bear that in mind when seasoning. The liquid in the cans is not needed here, but you may save it for another purpose if you wish.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup basil leaves, loosely packed, plus some pretty ones reserved for garnish
1 cup Italian parsley leaves, loosely packed
2 small garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 ounces bacon, cut into lardons
2 (10-ounce) cans baby clams, drained
1 teaspoon finely chopped serrano chile
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 pound spaghetti
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Put basil, parsley and garlic in a mortar or food processor. Add salt and pepper to taste and 1/4 cup oil. Pound or whiz to obtain a bright green purée.
  • Put a pot of water on to boil and make it very salty. (It will boil faster with the lid on.)
  • Over medium heat, render bacon in its own fat until browned and crisp but not hard, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Pour off fat but leave a small amount in the pan, just to coat the bottom.
  • Increase heat to medium-high, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, the clams, serrano chile and red pepper. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes, stirring and coating clams well. Add peas and warm through, then turn off heat.
  • Boil pasta and cook until slightly underdone. Drain pasta and add to pan with clams. Turn heat to medium-high and stir all together. Add a splash of pasta water, if it seems dry. Add basil purée and toss well. Top with bacon and reserved basil leaves. Pass lemon wedges.

CLAM SAUCE WITH LINGUINE

This is a super fast and easy recipe. One of my favorites. Even my kids love it. Though sometimes I use 1 1/2 pounds of noodles. Fettuccine can also be used.

Provided by Stanley Tucci

Categories     Pasta     Shellfish     Sauté     Dinner     Seafood     Clam     Boil     Sugar Conscious     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound linguine
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup dry white wine
18 littleneck or chowder clams
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian, flat leafed parsley

Steps:

  • 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta, following the package instructions, until al dente.
  • 2. Meanwhile, warm 1/2 cup of the olive oil in a high-sided saucepan set over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and allow it to cook away slightly, about 1 minute. Add the clams and their juice, and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the broth froths to a level of 1 to 2 inches. Remove from the heat. Stir in the parsley. Drain the pasta and toss in a serving bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Distribute evenly among six dinner plates. Top with equal portions of the sauce, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams: Fresh clams have a briny, sweet flavor that is essential for this dish. Avoid using frozen clams, as they will not have the same flavor or texture.
  • Purge the clams: Purging the clams helps to remove any sand or grit from the shells. To purge the clams, place them in a large bowl of cold water and let them sit for 30 minutes. Then, drain the water and rinse the clams thoroughly.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is the base of the sauce, so it is important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and flavorful.
  • Don't overcook the clams: Clams are very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The clams will toughen if they are left to sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Linguine with spicy clam sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. It is perfect for a quick weeknight meal or for a special occasion. With its briny, sweet flavor and spicy kick, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
