Snows Canned Clams Recipes

SPAGHETTI WITH CANNED CLAMS

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs, granulated garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toast the breadcrumbs, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
• Fill a large pot with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and season generously with salt. Add the spaghetti and cook to al dente, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large saute pan or skillet, add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil along with the garlic and red pepper flakes. Turn the heat on low and let cook until fragrant, for a few minutes. Stir in the wine and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the clams, then turn up the heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Use tongs to take the pasta out of the water directly into the pan (this works best when the pasta is a couple minutes away from being done; you want it really al dente so it finishes cooking in the sauce). Use tongs to toss. If dry, add a little pasta water. Add the parsley. Toss until coated in the sauce and the pasta is tender. Serve with the toasted breadcrumbs sprinkled on top.

LINGUINE WITH WHITE CLAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt, and cook the pasta according to package dictions. You'll want to cook it until just al dente, and then it will finish cooking in the sauce, so plan to take it out a couple of minutes before it is done to your liking.
• Meanwhile, in a large deep skillet, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the garlic and cooking, sitting frequently, for 8 minutes, until the garlic is soft and a very light golden color; do not allow the garlic to brown. Stir in ¼ teaspoon of the red pepper flakes, and season with salt and pepper.
• Raise the heat under the garlic oil to medium high. Add the white wine and simmer for 3 minutes until slightly reduced. Add the chicken broth or stock and the clam juice to the pan, and bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer and reduce a bit, for about 5 minutes.
• When the pasta is just al dente, drain it and return it to the pot. Pour in the broth-clam juice mixture, add the chopped clams and lemon juice and toss until the pasta has become tender and absorbed a bit of the liquid, the clams are heated through and everything is well combined, about 2 minutes; tongs are great for this. Turn into a serving bowl, and top with additional red pepper flakes, the chopped parsley and the lemon zest. Serve hot.
