Ingredients
- 2 pounds clams, fresh
- 4 medium zucchini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup parsley, chopped
- 1 whole lemon, juiced
- 0 to taste salt
- 0 to taste black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by scrubbing and cleaning the clams under cold water. Discard any that remain open after a light tap.
Step 2
Using a spiralizer, turn the zucchinis into noodles. Set the zucchini noodles aside on a paper towel to absorb moisture.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Add the cleaned clams to the skillet, followed by the dry white wine and chicken broth. Cover the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high to bring the liquid to a simmer.
Step 5
Cook the clams until they have opened, about 6-8 minutes. Discard any clams that do not open.
Step 6
Remove the clams with a slotted spoon and set them aside. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet along with the red pepper flakes.
Step 7
Stir in the zucchini noodles, tossing them gently to coat with the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, just until the noodles are tender but still crisp.
Step 8
Return the clams to the skillet to warm through, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and add the juice of one lemon. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 9
Serve the keto linguine with clams immediately, garnishing each serving with additional parsley and a lemon wedge if desired.
