Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cups fresh parsley
- 2 pounds clams, scrubbed and rinsed
- 0.5 cups dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by spiralizing the zucchini. Use a spiralizer to create long, noodle-like strips that resemble linguine. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Finely chop the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet along with red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Step 4
Add the clams and pour in the dry white wine.
Step 5
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the clams steam for about 6-8 minutes, or until they open. Discard any clams that do not open.
Step 6
Remove the cover and add in the spiralized zucchini noodles, tossing them gently with the clams and the sauce.
Step 7
Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all flavors.
Step 8
Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the zucchini is slightly tender but not soft.
Step 9
Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish.
Step 10
Serve immediately, ensuring that each plate gets a fair share of clams and zucchini noodles.
