Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Linguini

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the linguini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of the pasta water.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Add Clams and Wine

    Add the fresh clams to the skillet, followed by the white wine and chili flakes. Cover and cook until the clams open, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Herbs

    Once the clams have opened, add the halved grape tomatoes and chopped parsley. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine with Pasta

    Add the cooked linguini to the skillet, tossing everything together. If needed, add reserved pasta water to achieve desired sauce consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Linguini Vongole immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
