Ingredients
- 12 ounces linguini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cups dry white wine
- 1 cup clam juice
- 2 pounds fresh clams, scrubbed
- 0 to taste kosher salt
- 0 to taste black pepper, freshly ground
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0 to garnish Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the linguini according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
Step 2
In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, stirring constantly for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.
Step 4
Pour in the white wine and clam juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Add the fresh clams to the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for 6-8 minutes, shaking the skillet occasionally, until the clams open. Discard any clams that do not open.
Step 6
Season the sauce with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Add the drained linguini to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the sauce. If the sauce seems too dry, gradually add some reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Step 8
Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon juice, mixing well to combine.
Step 9
Serve the linguini with clam sauce immediately, garnished with more parsley and optional grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy warm!
