PASTA ALLE VONGOLE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saute pan with a tight-fitting lid over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and pepper flakes and saute until fragrant. Don't let the garlic brown. Add the white wine and clams, increase the heat to high and cover the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all of the clams have opened, about 8 minutes. As the clams open, transfer them to a large bowl. When all of the clams are removed, reduce the heat to medium low, add the oregano and swirl in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package direction. Using tongs, transfer the linguine to the saute pan with the clam juice and toss to coat. Turn off the heat and add the clams and any juices that have collected in the bowl. Using tongs, turn the linguine to coat it with the sauce. Top with parsley. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a 5 quart pot. Season lightly with salt; add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until about 2 minutes before tender. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water.
• Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, swirling pan often, until just golden. Add red pepper flakes and continue cooking 15 more seconds. Add wine, then clams; increase heat to high. Cover skillet and cook until clams open and release their juices, 3-6 minutes, depending on size of clams. As clams open, use tongs to transfer them to a bowl.
• Add 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water to skillet; bring to a boil. Add pasta to pan. Cook over high heat, tossing constantly, until pasta is al dente and has soaked up some of the sauce from the pan. Add clams and any juices from bowl to pan, along with parsley, and toss to combine. (Add more pasta water if sauce seems dry.) Transfer pasta to warm bowls and drizzle with remaining oil.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Add the clams to a large skillet. Cover with a lid and heat over medium-high heat. Steam for 3 minutes, and then remove the lid and transfer all opened clams to a bowl to cool. Cover the skillet and cook again for 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove the lid and again transfer all opened clams to the bowl. Repeat another time, if necessary, until most clams have opened. Discard any clams that do not open.
• Pour the broth from the skillet into another bowl and set aside. Once cool enough to handle, remove the meat from three-quarters of the opened clams and chop the meat finely. Discard their shells. Try to capture any of the juice and combine with the reserved broth.
• Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook until al dente, 1 minute less than the package instructions call for.
• In the same large skillet the clams were cooked in, add the olive oil and heat until hot. Saute the chili flakes and garlic. As soon as the garlic is fragrant, add the white wine and cook until reduced, about 3 minutes.
• Add the chopped clams along with the clams still in their shells to the skillet with some of the reserved juices (about 1/2 cup). Cook until reduced slightly, and then season with salt and pepper. Toss together thoroughly.
• Drain the spaghetti and add to the sauce. Toss over high heat for a few moments until the pasta is well coated.
• Serve the dressed pasta with the chopped parsley, a drizzle of olive oil and an extra touch of crushed chili flakes.

Steps:

• In a large bowl or the sink, soak the clams in salted water to cover for about 30 minutes. (Use this time to assemble what you will need for the recipe.) Discard any clams that rise to the surface, then drain, rinse well and place in a large fry pan. Bring a large pot three-fourths full of water (at least 4 qts) to boil over high heat. In a second large, deep fry pan over medium heat, warm the 1/4 cup olive oil. Add the garlic and chili and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and, using a slotted spoon, remove and discard the garlic and chili. Set the pan with the oil aside. When the pasta water is boiling, put the pan holding the clams over high heat and cover it. Add the 1 Tbs. salt and the pasta to the water and stir for the first minute of cooking and occasionally thereafter. After the pasta has cooked for 2 minutes, uncover the clams, reduce the heat to medium-high and don’t take your eyes off them. Cook the clams just until they open, only about 2 minutes. As they open, use tongs to transfer them in their shells to the pan holding the olive oil. Be careful not to bring any water with them, and discard any clams that did not open. When all the clams are in the second pan, strain the liquid in the first pan through a fine-mesh sieve lined with 2 or 3 layers of cheesecloth, holding the sieve over the second pan, which should still be off the heat. When the pasta is 2 to 3 minutes from being al dente, scoop out about 1 cup of the pasta water and set it aside. Drain the pasta but not too dry. Return the pan holding the clams to low heat, add the pasta and toss well with the clams. Add 2 Tbs. or more of the pasta water and continue tossing until the pasta is al dente and a small amount of creamy sauce has formed, about 2 minutes. Mix in the parsley and a swirl of olive oil.
