Linguine With Canned Clams Chiles And Lemon Recipes

LINGUINE WITH CLAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta according to package directions.
• Combine clams with juice, butter, oil, minced garlic, parsley, basil, and pepper in a large saucepan. Place over medium heat until boiling. Serve warm over pasta.

LINGUINE WITH LEMON CLAM SAUCE

Steps:

• I usually make this in my non-stick wok.
• Heat oil and butter on medium heat and saute onion and garlic until soft and tender, not brown.
• Add basil and bay leaf.
• Pour in wine, lemon rind, lemon juice and reserved clam juice.
• Simmer until reduced a little (by about a third).
• Add clams and heat through.
• Toss in the cooked linguine a little at a time (don't make the mistake of adding too much or the sauce will be lost!) and lastly add the cheese and parsley.
• Serve with more cheese on the side and red pepper flakes (optional) and warm garlic bread.

LINGUINE WITH CANNED CLAMS, CHILES AND LEMON

Steps:

• Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot and season with 1 tablespoon salt. Add the pasta and cook 3 minutes less than called for on the directions on the box. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain.
• While the pasta cooks, combine the olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and the garlic starts to sizzle, remove from the heat and allow the garlic to toast. Juice the lemon into the skillet then add the butter, clams, vermouth, 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water and the cooked pasta. Stir to evenly combine, then turn the heat up to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced and fully coats the pasta, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the salt as needed and add black pepper, the lemon zest and parsley. Use tongs to toss then divide among bowls and serve immediately.
