Linguine with Clam Sauce

Step 1

Cook linguine just until barely al dente, according to package directions. Drain.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil and butter in large skillet over medium heat. When the butter melts, add the onion and garlic. Sauté garlic and onions until starting to soften, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add ¾ cup of the reserved clam juice, wine, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and gently simmer on low for about 10 minutes (so that the flavors come together and the sauce reduces slightly).

Step 4

Add cooked linguine, clams, and parsley to the skillet. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if necessary. Simmer for about 5 more minutes, until the sauce is mostly absorbed.

Step 5

Serve with grated Parmesan cheese, extra parsley, or fresh lemon wedges.
