Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Clams

    Soak the baby clams in cold water for about 20 minutes to allow them to expel any sand. Rinse them under cold water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop Ingredients

    Finely chop the garlic and parsley, and set aside separately.

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 3

    Cook the Linguine

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

Cooking the Sauce

  1. 4

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing until fragrant but not browned, about 1-2 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Clams and Wine

    Add the cleaned baby clams to the skillet, followed by the white wine. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Discard any clams that do not open.

Combining

  1. 6

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained linguine to the skillet with the clams. Toss gently to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Season with salt to taste.

  2. 7

    Finish with Parsley

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Serve immediately, drizzling with extra olive oil if desired.
