Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Coarse salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Red-pepper flakes
1 can (14 ounces) whole plum tomatoes, chopped, plus 1/2 cup juice
2 cans (6.5 ounces each) chopped clams, drained, reserving 1 cup clam juice
1 tablespoon capers (preferably salt-packed), rinsed and drained
3/4 pound bucatini (perciatelli) or other long pasta
Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • While bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil, heat oil with garlic, oregano, and a large pinch of red-pepper flakes in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until fragrant and garlic is golden, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in tomatoes and their juice, and the reserved clam juice. Bring to a simmer, and cook until sauce is slightly thickened, about 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Stir in clams and capers, and cook until heated through.
  • When water boils, add pasta to boiling water, and cook until almost al dente, about 10 minutes (do not drain water). Transfer pasta to skillet using a strainer. Gradually stir in 1 cup pasta water, about 1/2 cup at a time, and cook over low heat, tossing, until pasta has absorbed some sauce and is well coated, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Divide among 4 bowls. Drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with red-pepper flakes and coarse sea salt.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less hot pepper next time.
