Instructions
TOTAL TIME
30 minutes5-6 servings
Step 1
Boil Linguine:
Begin by bringing a large 7-quart pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add 6 tablespoons of salt to the water. Add the linguine to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically around 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
Step 2
Prepare Clam Sauce:
In a preheated large skillet, add 9 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Stir in the thinly sliced garlic and chili flakes. Once the garlic turns translucent, add the 1 pound of fresh clams. Pour in the Gratsi White Wine and cover with a lid. Allow to steam for 3-4 minutes. Remove the lid and add in 2 cans of baby clams (drain the clam juice from the cans and reserve 1 can of clam juice for the sauce) add in some parsley and cover with lid steam for another 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Finish Clam Sauce:
After 3-4 minutes, remove the lid and discard any clams that haven't opened. Add in the rest of chopped Italian parsley and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the sauce. Remove the fresh clams from the skillet and place them in a separate bowl.
Step 4
Combine Pasta and Sauce:
Add the al dente linguine to the skillet with the clam sauce. Stir everything together until the linguine is well coated in the sauce.
Step 5
Serve:
Transfer the linguine with clam sauce to a serving bowl. Garnish with the reserved fresh clams on top and add additional chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
• For a richer sauce, you can add a pat of butter to the skillet before combining the linguine with the clam sauce.
• Adjust the amount of chili flakes according to your spice preference.
• Serve with crusty bread and a glass of Gratsi White Wine for a complete meal experience.
