Linguine And Clams Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Linguine

   In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Chorizo

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped chorizo and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Garlic and Tomatoes

   Add minced garlic and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté until the tomatoes begin to burst and release their juices, about 3-4 minutes.

4. 4

   Deglaze with Wine

   Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer, scraping any bits off the bottom of the skillet. Allow the wine to reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

5. 5

   Incorporate Clams

   Add the clams to the skillet, cover, and cook until they are heated through and the clams have opened (if using fresh), about 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Combine with Linguine

   Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. 7

   Prepare Bread Crumbs

   In a separate bowl, mix bread crumbs with tarragon. Toast lightly if desired for added flavor.

8. 8

   Serve

   Plate the linguine and clams, and top with the toasted tarragon bread crumbs before serving.
