1
Prepare the Linguine
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the linguine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
2
Cook the Clams
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3
Add Wine and Clams
Pour in the dry white wine and bring to a simmer. Add the clams, cover, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Discard any that do not open.
4
Combine Pasta and Clams
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet with the clams. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a light sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5
Finish and Serve
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
