Ingredients
- 2 dozen clams shucked and diced, reserving liquid in a measuring cup (there should be about 1 1/3 cups of clams and 2 cups of liquid)
- 5 cups water
- 1 pound linguine, preferably fresh
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes or 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons minced parsley
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large saucepan heat water until it comes to a boil. Add 1 cup of the reserve clam liquid and salt to taste. Now add your linguine, bring the water back to a boil and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until tender, but still firm to the bite. Meanwhile, in a skillet heat olive oil and garlic, and cook, stirring until fragrant. Add remaining clam juice and white wine and reduce to 3/4 cup of liquid.
- Bring liquid to a boil, add the clams, red pepper flakes and simmer 1 to 2 minutes, or until just cooked. Check your linguine, drain in a colander and transfer to a large serving dish. Add the butter, and toss to combine. Add the clam sauce and parsley and toss to combine. Season to taste with freshly ground pepper. Serve immediately.

Reviews
this is the real deal
this is a test
It took no time at all and was easy to make. My whole family loved it.
The whole family loved this recipe. I did change it a little. I didn;t have any wine on hand, so I omitted that. Also, I added tomatoes and a little parmesan cheese. The kids loved it!!!
Cooked this up the other day. I also used 2 cans of clams and it turned out great.
I used cans of baby clams since time was and issues. Even my picky 7 year old and husband who doesn’t like clams enjoyed this meal.
