Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the linguini

    Cook the linguini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Steam the clams

    In a large pot, combine the white wine, minced garlic, red chili flakes, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer, then add the clams. Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams open. Discard any clams that do not open.

  3. 3

    Make the sauce

    Once the clams are done, remove them from the pot and set aside. Strain the cooking liquid and return it to the pot. Add the butter and lemon juice to the liquid, and simmer until slightly reduced.

  4. 4

    Combine ingredients

    Add the cooked linguini and clams back into the pot with the sauce, tossing gently to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.

  5. 5

    Prepare the topping

    In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and chopped herbs. Mix well.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the linguini and clams, then sprinkle the bread crumb mixture on top. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
