Ingredients
- 400 grams linguine
- 1 kilogram fresh clams
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
- 200 milliliters dry white wine
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the clams thoroughly under cold water and discard any that are open and do not close when tapped.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
Step 3
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium-high, then add the clams and pour in the white wine. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, shaking the skillet occasionally, until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that remain closed.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low, stir in the butter, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water, tossing everything together to coat the pasta in the sauce.
Step 8
Sprinkle in the chopped parsley and toss again to combine.
Step 9
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, allowing everyone to squeeze fresh lemon juice over their portions if desired.
