Linguine with Clams and Lime image

This version of spaghetti alle vongole--the classic Neapolitan dish made with clams, white wine, and garlic--gets a delicious kick from a jalapeno chile, in addition to the zest and juice of limes.

Number Of Ingredients 10

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound dried linguine
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
1 jalapeno chile, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
Zest and juice of 3 limes
2 pounds Manila or other small clams, scrubbed
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon salt. Add linguine and cook until al dente, about 9 minutes.
  • While pasta is cooking, in a large saute pan, heat oil over medium. Add garlic, onion, and chile and saute until onion is translucent, a few minutes. Pour in wine and bring to a boil. Add lime zest and juice and stir well. Add clams, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and cook until they open, 3 to 5 minutes. Uncover and discard any clams that did not open. Turn off heat.
  • Drain pasta and add to clams. Cover pan and let rest 5 minutes, so pasta soaks up juices.
  • Season with salt and pepper and spoon into individual bowls. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my clams were rubbery. I think I might have overcooked them.

I had some trouble finding fresh clams, so I used frozen ones instead. They worked just fine.

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

I made this last night and it was delicious! The lime really brightened up the dish. I also added a bit of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
