Ingredients
- 1 lb linguine
- 30-40 littleneck clams or 5 small cans of clams
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 8 tbsp butter (optional)
- 1 white onion minced
- 1 bulb garlic minced
- ½ cup pinot grigio
- ½ - 3 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- ¼ cup chicken broth (optional)
- 5 bunches parsley minced
- ½ tsp lemon zest
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, heat half the olive oil on medium heat and saute the minced parsley
- Once softened, add in the minced garlic and season with salt and pepper
- Once the garlic has become aromatic and the parsley is cooked, add in the white wine and chicken broth
- Allow the sauce to simmer for 30+ minutes, stirring occasionally
- Once the sauce has cooked through, drop in the (optional) butter and raise the heat up to medium
- Clam time! If you’re using fresh clams: prepare them properly by giving them a thorough wash/clean under cold water. Add washed clams in the shell to the sauce. Allow the shells to pop, signalizing they are cooked and toss any clams that do not open) If you’re using canned clams, dump the clams into the sauce with a little bit of the clam juice from the cans and cook.
- Add in red pepper flakes (more or less depending on how spicy you want it!)
- Bring the heat back down to low once the clams have been heated through and are cooked.
- In a separate pot, bring water to boil and cook your linguine al dente (it will cook an additional minute or two in the sauce)
- Toss the linguine in the sauce, heat for a minute or two and and serve immediately, or keep heat on low until serving time
- Top with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and some fresh grated lemon zest!
