Method

Pasta Preparation

1

Cook the Linguine

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.

Clams and Mushroom Preparation

2

Sauté Mushrooms and Garlic

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, sauté for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are soft and browned.

3

Add Clams

Add the fresh clams to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the mushrooms and garlic.

4

Add Herbs and Whiskey

Sprinkle in the chopped parsley and thyme. Pour in the Crown Royal whiskey, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cover the skillet and cook until the clams open, about 5-7 minutes.

Combine and Serve

5

Mix Everything Together

Once the clams are open, add the cooked linguine to the skillet. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

6

Serve

Serve the dish hot, generously topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
