Linguine with White Clam Sauce
Feast your eyes on this mouthwatering dish!
Now, let’s break down what you’ll need for this delight:
Ingredients
- 1 pound linguine
- 2 cans (6.5 ounces each) chopped clams, with juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your heat preference)
- 1/2 cup white wine (optional, but highly recommended!)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)
Instructions
- Start by cooking your linguine according to the package instructions. Don’t forget that pinch of salt in the water! Gotta flavor that pasta.
- While that’s cooking, grab a skillet and heat up the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Next, pour in the white wine. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes so the alcohol can cook off and that flavor can soak in. If you’re skipping the wine, you can just step to the clams right away.
- Next, add the clams with their juice to the skillet. Give everything a good stir and let it mingle together for about 3-5 minutes. You want everything to blend nicely.
- Once your linguine is al dente, drain it and toss it in the skillet with the clam sauce. Make sure every strand is coated with that delightful sauce!
- Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Trust me, it’s a game changer!
