Linguine With Clam Sauce

Step 1

Wash the clams to remove any dirt or sand. Add about one to two inches of water into a large pot. Put all the clams in a steamer basket. Bring the water to a boil, then close the pot with a lid and lower the heat. Steam about three to five minutes until the clams open.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a skillet. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until tender, about five minutes.

Step 3

Add the red pepper and Italian seasoning, then stir until it’s combined.

Step 4

Pour in the wine and simmer until the wine has reduced by about half.

Step 5

Pour the two cans of clams, with the liquid that comes in the can, into the skillet. Cook about two minutes.

Step 6

Add the chopped parsley, reserving some for a garnish. Cook until the parsley starts to wilt. Set aside.

Step 7

Boil your pasta.

Step 8

Heat about a tablespoon of oil into a skillet. Place one serving of pasta into the skillet and heat it. Pour the clam sauce on top and cook together, about two minutes. Plate the pasta, then top with a serving of clams. Garnish with the remaining parsley.
