Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams linguine
- 1 kilogram fresh clams
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 200 milliliters dry white wine
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
Rinse the clams thoroughly under cold water and discard any that are open and do not close when tapped.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.
Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the clams and pour in the white wine. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the skillet occasionally, until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that remain closed.
Reduce the heat to low, stir in the butter, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water, tossing everything together to coat the pasta in the sauce.
Sprinkle in the chopped parsley and toss again to combine.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, allowing everyone to squeeze fresh lemon juice over their portions if desired.
