Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound capellini or angel hair pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chopped shallots
3/4 cup roasted garlic cloves
1 (12-ounce) beer
36 small clams in shells, scrubbed
1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley leaves
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Mixed green salad and bottled dressing, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Cook capellini according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil and butter together in a large skillet. Add shallots and 3/4 cup roasted garlic cloves saute 3 minutes, until shallots are soft. Add beer and bring to a simmer. Add clams, cover and simmer until shells open, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, remove 12 clams and reserve for another meal. Drain capellini, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water and add to clams in skillet, adding the reserved 1/2 cup pasta if necessary to "loosen" the sauce. Simmer 1 minute to heat through. Remove from heat and top with parsley and Parmesan. Serve with a mixed green salad and bottled dressing, if desired.

I'm allergic to clams, so I used shrimp instead. The dish turned out great!

I would have liked the sauce to be a bit thicker, but overall this dish was very good.

This recipe was a fail. The clams were overcooked and the sauce was bland.

This drunken clams dish was a hit at my dinner party! The clams were tender and flavorful, and the cappellini was cooked perfectly. The sauce was rich and creamy, with a hint of brininess from the clams.
