Garlic, onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and white wine flavor clams tossed with linguine in this quick and easy recipe.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onions
  • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup clam juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 2 dozen littleneck clams, cleaned and scrubbed
  • 1 pound linguine, cooked al dente
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Extra-virgin olive oil for garnish

Preparation:

Heat a large heavy skillet (with a lid). Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Gently saute onions and garlic until softened. Add white wine, clam juice, and sun-dried tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, then add the clams. Cover with lid and simmer about 6 to 8 minutes, until clam shells open up. Discard any shells that do not open.

Add the cooked linguine, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat pasta, and saute another 2 minutes until pasta is heated through. Plate and drizzle with olive oil to serve. Crusty bread makes perfect accompaniment to sop up the juices.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Clam reciepe, Member sincavageml

This recipe was easy to follow. I would add a little salt to the recipe while cooking...I would also use butter instead of oil while heating the pan...butter adds a cream consistance to the sauce...it also enhances the flavor of clams...I live in the bahamas and the clams are ""frozen"" but this recipe was delicious...
