Zuppa di Vongole: Clam Soup image

Provided by Food Network

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds fresh clams
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
3 cloves garlic, 2 crushed, and 1 for rubbing
1 fresh chili pepper, diced
1 stone from the sea, for flavor, optional*
10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 cup white wine
Salt
Bunch of fresh Italian or flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
4 slices country bread, toasted and halved

Steps:

  • Remove excess sand from clams by soaking them in a bowl of cold salted water. The clams will open up their shells and release any sand and grit that is inside.
  • In a pan, heat the 1/4 cup oil and fry up 2 cloves garlic, the chili pepper, the stone, if using, and cherry tomatoes until the tomatoes soften and lose their shape, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the clams, and cook for 30 seconds with the lid on, shaking the pan often.
  • Add the wine to the pan, and cover with the lid until the clams have completely opened.
  • The clams release some water, which is the base for the soup. Add a generous splash of white wine. You can make this more soupy by adding a little more wine or even a few spoonfuls of tomato puree.
  • Add the parsley and salt, to taste. Continue cooking for another minute for all the flavors to come together.
  • Rub some raw garlic on the toasted bread slices. Drizzle the bread with the extra virgin olive oil. Serve the clam soup in bowls with 2 half slices of toast per bowl.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup dried garbanzo beans (chickpeas; about 7 ounces)
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3 garlic cloves, peeled, divided
1 6-inch-long fresh rosemary sprig
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 3/4 pounds small clams (such as Manila)
1 cup ditalini or other short hollow pasta (about 5 ounces)

Steps:

  • Place garbanzo beans in medium bowl. Pour enough cold water over to cover; let soak at room temperature overnight. Drain. Place garbanzo beans in large saucepan; add enough fresh water to cover. Boil 15 minutes. Drain. Return garbanzo beans to pan; add 4 cups water, 3 tablespoons oil, 2 garlic cloves, rosemary sprig, and crushed red pepper. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until beans are tender, adding more water as needed by 1/2 cupfuls, about 2 hours. Discard rosemary sprig. Transfer 1 cup garbanzo bean mixture to processor and puree until smooth; return to mixture in saucepan.
  • Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining garlic clove; sauté until golden, about 2 minutes. Add clams and 1/4 cup water; cover and cook until clams open, about 5 minutes (discard garlic and any clams that do not open). Cool clams slightly; reserve pan juices. Working over bowl to catch juices, remove clams from shells; discard shells. Strain pan juices and clam juice from bowl into garbanzo bean mixture, then add 3 1/2 cups water and bring to boil. Add pasta and cook until pasta is just tender but still firm to bite, adding more water if soup is too thick and stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Stir in clams. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle soup into bowls and serve.

Yield serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
6 ounces spaghetti
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup white wine
2 pounds cockles, Manila clams, or littlenecks scrubbed
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a 5 quart pot. Season lightly with salt; add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until about 2 minutes before tender. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water.
  • Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, swirling pan often, until just golden. Add red pepper flakes and continue cooking 15 more seconds. Add wine, then clams; increase heat to high. Cover skillet and cook until clams open and release their juices, 3-6 minutes, depending on size of clams. As clams open, use tongs to transfer them to a bowl.
  • Add 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water to skillet; bring to a boil. Add pasta to pan. Cook over high heat, tossing constantly, until pasta is al dente and has soaked up some of the sauce from the pan. Add clams and any juices from bowl to pan, along with parsley, and toss to combine. (Add more pasta water if sauce seems dry.) Transfer pasta to warm bowls and drizzle with remaining oil.
