Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Linguine
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 14 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
- 1 pinch Saffron threads
- 1 cup Dry white wine
- 2 pounds Fresh clams (cleaned and scrubbed)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining and set pasta aside.
In a large, deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (including juices), saffron threads, and dry white wine. Simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cleaned clams to the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the clams open up. Discard any clams that do not open.
Once the clams are cooked, stir in the chopped parsley, black pepper, and reserved pasta water to thin the sauce as needed.
Add the drained linguine to the skillet and toss well to coat the pasta in the saffron tomato clam sauce.
Serve immediately in shallow bowls, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy!
