Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- 1 (16-ounce) package linguini
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced (zest reserved for Round 2 Recipe Lasagna Roll Ups)
- 1 (10-ounce) can whole clams
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguini, cover the pot, and bring it back to a boil. Remove the cover, stir, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta and set aside. (Reserve 1 cup pasta for the Round 2 Recipe Savory Noodle Pie.)
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat with the oil. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the lemon juice and the clams with their juices. Cook for 2 minutes to warm the clams through. Add the parsley and butter to the clams and stir. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Pour the pasta onto a serving platter and pour the clams and sauce over the pasta. Serve immediately.

Reviews
So EASY and so delicious! I used regular salted butter and we topped it with parmesean cheese. My teen, 2 year old and husband devoured it! I’m doubling the recipe next time.
Too much lemon, too little seasoning. Good thing I read the other comments and added some crushed red pepper flakes. Also added oregano. Will try fresh basil next time.
This was very tasty I added a can diced tomatoes and it was delicious
So simple and very yummy! The sauce in this recipe is referring to the ‘clams with their juices’ the lemon juice and the 2 TBS of butter melted into the skillet. I will make this dish again, but next time use our local clams-not bottled.
what sauce? I see none in this recipe?
