Randys Garlic Clam And Roasted Tomato Linguine Recipes

LINGUINE WITH ROASTED GARLIC AND CLAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place garlic on square of foil and drizzle with a little olive oil. Roast in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or until tender. Peel garlic and coarsely chop. Heat oil in a large pot and stir in garlic. Add pepper flakes and parsley. Pour in wine and bring to a simmer. Add clams and cover pot. Cook about 8 minutes or until clams are all open. Discard unopened clams. Remove clams from pot and pour off liquid into a bowl, leaving any sand in the bottom of the pot. Rinse the pot and return clams and liquid to the pot. Stir in linguine and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

RANDY'S GARLIC, CLAM, AND ROASTED TOMATO LINGUINE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Smash and peel 6 garlic cloves (do not chop), peel and finely chop the remaining 6 and set aside.
• Toss the smashed garlic with the tomatoes, olives, 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil, sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
• Spread the tomato mixture in one layer on one or two baking sheets, making sure it is not crowded (crowding will result in steaming, not roasting).
• Roast tomato mixture, tossing occasionally, for 15 to 25 minutes (cherry/grape tomatoes should begin to burst).
• Warm the remaining oil in a deep skillet, then add the reserved garlic and the red pepper flakes. Cook for 30 seconds. Add the wine, oregano, reserved clam liquid, and roasted tomatoes, garlic, and olives and simmer 10 minutes to meld ingredients and reduce sauce.
• In a large pot of salted water cook the pasta until it is about 2 minutes from being done to taste. Drain.
• Add the pasta and reserved black pepper to the sauce. Cook, tossing, until pasta is just cooked through. Add the reserved clams, toss well to just heat the clams, and serve, drizzing with a little more olive oil.

LINGUINE WITH CLAMS, ROASTED TOMATOES AND CARAMELIZED GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Smash and peel 8 garlic cloves; peel and finely chop the remaining 6. Toss the smashed garlic with the tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of oil, fine sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread the tomatoes out in a layer in one or two baking pans (make sure they aren't too crowded, so they don't steam) and roast tomatoes, tossing occasionally, until bursting, 15 to 20 minutes.
• In a large pot of heavily salted boiling water, cook the pasta until it is 2 minutes from being done to taste. Drain.
• Return the pasta pot to medium-high heat. Warm 4 tablespoons oil in the pot. Add the chopped garlic and red pepper flakes; cook for 30 seconds. Add the wine and let simmer 2 minutes. Stir in the roasted tomatoes and garlic. Add the clams. Cover the pot and cook until the clams open, 5 to 10 minutes. Use tongs to transfer open clams to a bowl; discard any that do not open.
• Add the pasta and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper to the sauce in the pot. Cook, tossing, until pasta is just cooked through. Return the clams to the pot and toss with the pasta. Divide mixture among serving bowls. Garnish with mint and drizzle with more oil.

CLAM LINGUINE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine olive oil, butter, garlic, tomatoes and parsley; simmer and let reduce. Add some clam juice if the sauce reduces too much.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 3 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Add clams to the skillet and heat through; top with cheese and serve immediately.

LINGUINE WITH CLAMS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Slice the garlic and chop the fresh thyme. Combine with wine in a pot large enough for all ingredients.
• Scrub clams and add to pot. Bring to a boil and cook until the clam shells open. As they open, remove them from the pot and set aside. Continue cooking broth until it is reduced by half.
• Bring water to a boil for the linguine in a covered pot.
• Wash and trim the tomatoes, and cut in half. Squeeze out the seeds. Chop tomatoes in a food processor or with a knife. When the broth has been reduced, add the fish stock or clam juice and chopped tomatoes, and cook over high heat, continuing to reduce the liquid slightly.
• Cook the linguine according to package directions.
• Remove the clams from their shells, and pour any reserved liquid from them into the pot.
• Wash and dry basil, and cut into thin strips.
• Drain the pasta, and add to the sauce with the clams; stir to blend, and serve topped with basil.
