We love linguine in clam sauce, and it's just one of the easiest things to make at home! In fact, if you keep cans of clams and linguine in your pantry, you'll always have something to make for dinner (even if you haven't been to the store lately or forgot to defrost something for dinner).
LINGUINE with CLAMS in WINE SAUCE
3 cans (6.5 oz) whole baby or chopped clams, drained (reserve 1/2 cup of the juice)
*NOTE: I like to mix 2 cans of chopped & 1 can whole clams because the chopped clams mix well throughout the pasta and the whole clams give it texture *
1/2 medium-large white onion, sliced …………………1 TB crushed garlic
1/2 cup white wine…………………………………………1 TB butter
1 TB extra-virgin olive oil…………………………………1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
About 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley (or 1-2 TB dried flakes)
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan or 3-Italian cheese
8 oz. linguine (I like fresh best)
***
Start a pot of boiling water, and cook your pasta per package instructions.
Melt the butter with the olive oil, in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir for about a minute; then add the onions and saute until soft (about 4-6 minutes). Stir in the wine and let simmer about 4-5 minutes.
Add in the clams, reserved clam juice, parsley, oregano and red pepper flakes and simmer for about 3 minutes (until the clams are hot and the parsley is wilted down). Toss the clam sauce with the cooked linguine and grated cheese to serve.
You might want to serve crusty bread with this to soak up the sauce too! Serves about 2-3
