Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
½ cup butter
¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic, or to taste
2 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams, drained with juice reserved
2 (6.5 ounce) cans chopped clams, drained with juice reserved
1 tablespoon cornstarch, or as needed
1 (8 ounce) bottle clam juice
2 (8 ounce) cans mushroom pieces, drained
2 zucchini, grated
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt to taste
½ bunch Italian flat leaf parsley, chopped
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the linguine, and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain; return to the pot to keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the garlic, minced clams, and chopped clams for 5 minutes. Add the reserved clam juice and cook for a few more minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the cornstarch with part of the bottled clam juice. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the skillet. Adjust the thickness of the sauce, if needed, by whisking a little more cornstarch with more bottled clam juice, and adding to the sauce. Pour the remaining bottled clam juice into the skillet.
  • Stir in the mushroom pieces, grated zucchini, cayenne pepper, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley; remove from heat. Pour the clam sauce over the drained linguine. Mix well; serve with Parmesan cheese.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I used too much red pepper flakes in the sauce. Other than that, it was a good recipe.
