Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds clams, fresh
- 4 medium zucchini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup parsley, chopped
- 1 whole lemon, juiced
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Begin by scrubbing and cleaning the clams under cold water. Discard any that remain open after a light tap.
Using a spiralizer, turn the zucchinis into noodles. Set the zucchini noodles aside on a paper towel to absorb moisture.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the cleaned clams to the skillet, followed by the dry white wine and chicken broth. Cover the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high to bring the liquid to a simmer.
Cook the clams until they have opened, about 6-8 minutes. Discard any clams that do not open.
Remove the clams with a slotted spoon and set them aside. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet along with the red pepper flakes.
Stir in the zucchini noodles, tossing them gently to coat with the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, just until the noodles are tender but still crisp.
Return the clams to the skillet to warm through, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and add the juice of one lemon. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the keto linguine with clams immediately, garnishing each serving with additional parsley and a lemon wedge if desired.
