Yield Makes 4 (main course) servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound sliced bacon, chopped
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons hot red-pepper flakes
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
32 small (less than 2 inches wide) hard-shelled clams, scrubbed
3/4 pound linguine
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Equipment: a 13-by 9- by 2-inch disposable foil pan

Steps:

  • Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over hot charcoal (high heat for gas), leaving about one third of grill free of coals (or, for a gas grill, shutting off one or two burners); see Grilling Procedure .
  • Cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
  • Stir together oil, garlic, red-pepper flakes, and lemon juice in foil pan and put on grill over area with no coals.
  • Grill clams on grill rack over coals, turning with tongs, until they open, 3 to 7 minutes, transferring as opened to foil pan and being careful not to spill their juices. (Discard any clams that remain unopened after 7 minutes.)
  • Cook linguine in a pasta pot of well-salted boiling water until al dente, then drain.
  • Toss pasta with bacon, parsley, contents of foil pan, and salt and pepper to taste.

I'm not a fan of seafood, but I thought this dish was pretty good. The clams were cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had used less bacon.

I'm not a big fan of clams, but I thought this dish was pretty good. The bacon and garlic really helped to balance out the flavor of the clams.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover clams. I had some leftover from a clam bake, and this was a great way to use them up.

This was my first time making linguine with grilled clams and bacon, and it turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly, and the dish was delicious.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The clams were a bit tough, and the sauce was a little bland. I think I would have liked it more if I had used fresh clams instead of canned.

I made this for dinner last night, and it was a hit with my family! The clams were perfectly cooked and flavorful, and the bacon added a nice salty touch. The linguine was cooked al dente, which I prefer.
