Easy White Clam Sauce (With a Kick)! image

A very spicy and garlicky but easy white clam (or any shellfish) sauce for pasta, but obviously the spice level can be altered. Even "toned down", it's absolutely delicious! Serve it with a crusty baguette and a salad - yum yum yum... and so, so easy!!

Time 50m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 (4 ounce) cans minced clams, drained, liquid reserved
4 -10 garlic cloves, minced (to taste)
1 large onion, chopped big
3 -4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pint whipping cream
hot pepper flakes (to taste, I use 2 Tbsp, you probably want less)
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
pasta, of your choice cooked al dente
shredded fresh parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet, add onions and chile pepper flakes, and sweat until onion is soft (do not brown).
  • Add garlic and parsley and saute for another minute or two, until garlic aroma is apparent.
  • Add reserved clam juice, and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  • Add whipping cream and simmer over low heat until hot, but do not let come to a boil.
  • Add drained clams and heat until warm. Do not overcook at this point or your clams will get tough and rubbery - cook just until until well heated.
  • Serve over pasta and top with shredded parmesan. Asiago works as well!
  • Enjoy with your crusty bread dipped in the juice!
