Chock-Full-Of-Clam Sauce With Farfalle image

This is actually a very affordable dinner when clams are in season. I prefer using the slightly larger cherrystone clams, but littlenecks are fine too. If using the littlenecks, reduce the cooking time about 1-2 minutes.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces farfalle pasta
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (10 ounce) can baby clams
2 tablespoons italian-seasoned dry breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 fresh clams (cherrystone or littleneck)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions and drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Do not let it brown!
  • Stir in tomatoes with their juices, canned clams with their juices, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, and fresh clams. Cook for just 2 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
  • Stir in pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fresh clams open and mixture is hot, about 3-5 minutes. Discard any clams that do not open.
