You probably won't have to salt the sauce itself since the clams are so briny; taste right before serving.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups fregola (about 10 ounces)
Kosher salt
1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
24 littleneck clams, scrubbed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Cook fregola in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, 6-8 minutes; drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1/2 cup oil in a Dutch oven or other large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Carefully add wine; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
  • Add clams, cover, and cook, transferring clams to a bowl as they open (discard any that do not open), 6-8 minutes. Add fregola to cooking liquid in pot and cook, stirring, until fregola is tender and sauce is slightly thickened (there should still be plenty of liquid), about 2 minutes. Return clams to pot and cook until warmed through.
  • Divide fregola and clams among bowls, drizzle with oil, and top with parsley and lemon zest.

The clams were a bit gritty. I think I'll soak them in saltwater next time before cooking them.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.
