Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
4 oz pancetta, minced
2 ½ lb littleneck clam, cleaned
⅓ cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
7 oz grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
3 large egg yolks
1 large egg
1 lb linguine, cooked al dente and kept warm
flat leaf parsley, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the clams, wine, and pepper, and increase the heat to high. Cover and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the clams open, 6-10 minutes. Discard any clams that have not opened after 10 minutes.
  • Use tongs to transfer the clams to a medium bowl and set aside. Scrape the contents of the pan into a large bowl. Whisk in the Parmesan, egg yolks, and egg until smooth.
  • Add the warm linguine to the Parmesan cheese mixture, quickly tossing to coat evenly. Stir half of the clams into the pasta.
  • Transfer the pasta to a large serving dish and top with the remaining clams. Sprinkle with more 6. Parmesan cheese and the parsley. Serve hot.
  • Enjoy!
