Ingredients for Linguini and Clams

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Clams

    Rinse the littleneck clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Discard any clams that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Cook the Linguini

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the homemade linguini and cook until al dente, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the Clams

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

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Add the cooked linguini to the skillet along with the reserved pasta water, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Serve immediately.
