Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- 12 ounces linguine
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic
- 4 ounces diced pancetta
- 2 oil-packed anchovies
- 24 littleneck clams, scrubbed and rinsed well
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until browned, 1 minute. Add the pancetta and anchovies and cook, stirring, until browned, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the clams, then stir in the wine. Cover and cook over high heat until the clams open, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the clams to a large bowl (discard any clams that do not open). Cover to keep warm.
- Add the chicken broth to the skillet and cook until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Add the pasta to the skillet along with 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water. Simmer, tossing, until the pasta is well coated and the sauce thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add more cooking water to loosen, if needed. Stir in the clams and any juices. Add the parsley, red pepper flakes and lemon juice; season with salt. Divide among bowls.

Reviews
I made this recipe this evening for my family. It went pretty well. I had to make some tweaks because I feed a family of four adults. There wasn’t a lot of talking at the table so I think they enjoyed it. I used more clams and added sone butter to the recipe. Thank you for it.
