Step 1
Soak clams in salted water for 20 minutes to clean, then rinse with cold water and drain.
Step 2
Cook linguine until very al dente (1-2 minutes) less than package directions in salted boiling water.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium heat combine olive oil and butter until melted. Add chili flake, crushed garlic and 2-3 parsley stems to olive oil and fry for 30 seconds.
Step 4
Turn the heat to high. Add clams along with white wine or chicken broth, cover and steam for 6-8 minutes until the clams have opened up. Remove from the sauce into a separate bowl and discard any unopened clams. Remove the parsley stems and garlic, then reduce the sauce about 1/2.
Step 5
Once the sauce is reduced, immediately add the linguine and about a 1/2 cup of pasta water.
Step 6
Drizzle 1 tbsp of olive oil to the pasta. Cook and toss the pasta over high heat until the sauce has thickened slightly and emulsified.
Step 7
Add back the clams and freshly chopped parsley and mix to combine. Garnish more parsley and lemon, if desired, and enjoy!
