Linguine with Clam Sauce Recipe (Pasta Alle Vongole)
You will absolutely love this very easy-to-make Linguine with Clam Sauce recipe that has homemade pasta in a delicious garlicky clam sauce.
To me, linguine with clam sauce is one of the best Italian pasta recipes out there. It’s incredibly simple to make and loaded with delicious garlic and seafood flavors. This recipe obviously originated in Italy, and specifically the east Genoa region. Most Italian recipes were created based on availability, and with Genoa being ocean side, there was plenty of seafood to use.
Ingredients for this recipe:
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 4-5 finely minced cloves of garlic
• ½ peeled and small diced shallot
• 12 fresh rinsed clams
• ¾ cup white wine
• 10 ounces canned whole clams in juice
• 6.5 ounces canned chopped clams in juice
• small bunch of finely minced fresh parsley
• 1 pound fresh or dried pasta
• sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Serves: 4
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Procedures:
1. Add the olive oil to a large rondeau or frying pan over low heat and stir in the garlic and shallots and cook for 1 minute.
2. Place in the fresh clams and stir until combined. Place on a lid and cook for 6-8 minutes or just until the clams begin to open.
3. Next, deglaze with the wine and turn the heat to medium-high to high heat and cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce the amount of wine, and until the clams are completely opened up.
4. Turn the heat to low and add in the canned clams, salt, pepper, and ¾ of the chopped parsley and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
5. Add the pasta to a large pot of boiling salted water and cook until al dente.
6. Strain the noodles and toss with the clam’s saucepan.
7. Serve with optional grated parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and remaining chopped parsley.
Chef Notes:
Make-Ahead: This recipe is meant to be eaten as soon as it is done cooking.
How to Reheat: Add your desired amount to a pan over low heat and heat up until warm. You may need to add in a little bit of water or chicken stock to reconstitute.
How to Store: Place covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This recipe will not freeze well.
You should definitely use Fresh Pasta Dough Recipe, but if not, you can easily swap it out for dried pasta.
I personally like to use an Italian white wine like Pinot grigio, but other great wines you could use are chardonnay or sauvignon blanc.
