1
Prepare the Clams
Start by cleaning the clams. Rinse them under cold water to remove any sand or grit.
2
Cook the Linguine
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
3
Sauté Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4
Add Clams and Wine
Add the cleaned clams to the skillet followed by the white wine and red pepper flakes. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened.
5
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Once the clams are cooked, add the drained linguine to the skillet. Toss everything together, adding a bit of the reserved pasta water if needed to help coat the pasta.
6
Season and Serve
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
