Red Clam Sauce With Jalapeno Peppers Recipes

CLAMS IN RED SAUCE

Steps:

• Tear the basil and wash. Set aside about a 1/4 cup of washed basil leaves.
• Slice up ten cloves of garlic. Saute garlic with 2 Tbsp of olive oil on medium heat for 2 minutes in sauce pan.
• Blend whole plum tomatoes on pulse setting or use hand and squeeze them to break them up in a bowl. Be careful not to make a mess if using the squeezing method.
• Add tomatoes and all the tomato paste to sauce pan. Add 4 ounces of water, all the salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and cook for 15 minutes on medium low.
• Wash clams to remove any sand or debris.
• Heat a clean large pan on medium-high and add 4 oz. of water and clams. Cover.

• After 10 minutes discard any unopened clams. In the empty clam pan add half the sauce and heat for 1 minute on medium-low. After 1 minute add the clams to the sauce. Stir it all together and turn off heat.

LINGUINE WITH RED CLAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs; drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, anchovies, red pepper flakes, oregano and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is lightly golden, about 1 minute. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the whole clams; cover and cook until they just begin to open, about 3 minutes. Add the chopped clams and parsley; continue cooking, covered, until the whole clams are fully opened, about 3 more minutes (discard any that do not open). Add the pasta and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; toss to combine. Season with salt.

LINGUINE AND CLAMS WITH FRESH RED SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta according to package directions until 3 minutes shy of al dente. (It will finish cooking in the sauce; pasta should be toothsome but not crunchy.) Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain pasta.
• Meanwhile, once pasta is cooking, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to pop, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add reserved clam juice (you should have about 1 cup) and stir to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Add sauce, pasta, 1/2 cup of the pasta water and the butter back to the large pot, and cook, stirring vigorously, until sauce is thickened and pasta is al dente, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup more pasta water if a thinner sauce is desired.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the clams, cheese and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide pasta among bowls and garnish with cheese, parsley, black pepper and red-pepper flakes, if using.
