Linguini with Clam Sauce (white) image

This is a recipe I make often. It is a quick and easy dinner that everyone in my house eats (including my two children ages 4 and 8). I confess to using a little grated romano cheese on my serving, although my husband claims "real italians" do not put cheese on fish. I just tell him he doesn't have to eat from my dish!

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (10 ounce) cans baby clams
1 (8 ounce) bottle clam juice (optional)
1/4-1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 -6 cloves garlic, chopped fine or put through a garlic press
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
black pepper, freshly ground
1 lb linguine
1/2 cup white wine

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in medium sauce pan- when oil is hot, remove pan from burner, add garlic and hot pepper and stir (you want to be careful to not burn the garlic).
  • Add wine and cook off the alchol, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Drain juice from both cans of clams into saucepan, adding additional clam juice if necessary, you should have about 3 cups of liquid, return to low heat.
  • Cook linguini according to package directions.
  • When pasta is ready, add clams to sauce and heat just until clams are heat through.
  • Be careful not to"overcook" the sauce once you have added the clams- the clams will become tough if you do.
  • Remove sauce from heat and serve over linguini. Enjoy!
