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.

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.

LINGUINE WITH CLAM SAUCE



Linguine with Clam Sauce image

This is an easy, inexpensive, white clam sauce. Try it over any kind of pasta; lemon pepper linguine is especially tasty. Extend the sauce for larger portions by adding in one half cup of chicken broth.

Categories     Seafood     Shellfish     Clams

Time 32m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams, with juice
¼ cup butter
½ cup vegetable oil
½ teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon dried parsley
ground black pepper to taste
¼ tablespoon dried basil
1 (16 ounce) package linguini pasta

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Combine clams with juice, butter, oil, minced garlic, parsley, basil, and pepper in a large saucepan. Place over medium heat until boiling. Serve warm over pasta.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams. Fresh clams have a briny, sweet flavor that canned clams simply can't match. If you can't find fresh clams, frozen clams are a good substitute.
  • Soak the clams before cooking. Soaking the clams in cold water for 30 minutes will help to remove any sand or grit.
  • Don't overcook the clams. Clams are very delicate and will toughen if they are overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a good quality white wine. The white wine you use will contribute to the flavor of the sauce, so choose a wine that you enjoy drinking. A dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, is a good choice.
  • Add some fresh herbs to the sauce. Fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, or thyme, will add a bright, herbaceous flavor to the sauce.
  • Serve the pasta with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Parmesan cheese is a classic topping for pasta with white clam sauce.

Conclusion:

Linguine with white clam sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
