Linguine With Red Clam Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Shells well scrubbed. Soak the clams in a bowl with 2 Tbsp all purpose flour and enough cool water to submerge all the clams refrigerate and soak 1 hour. Then rinse the clams again and refresh the cool water until ready to cook.
  • Put up a pot of water for the pasta so it will be ready.
  • Heat a large sauce pot or dutch oven on med low. When hot put enough oil to cover the bottom of the pot + 1 tbs of butter and add the anchovy. When the anchovy dissolves, saute the onion and celery. When the onion and celery get hot season them with just a little salt, black pepper and a dash of red pepper flakes. When the onions clarify add the garlic and continue to stir so the garlic doesn't burn.
  • After a minute or two add the wine and allow the wine to reduce and thicken. Then add the clam juice and raise the temperature. Bring this to a brisk boil and allow the clam juice to reduce a little look for it to be a little more yellowish then when you added it.
  • Bring the flame back down to med low and add the tomatoes. Mix well and cover occasionally stirring the sauce. Cook for about 30 to 40 minutes taste and adjust with salt and peppers. If done (Now is a good time to salt the pasta water and begin the pasta) raise the flame to med high and add the clams mix well and cover. Check after a few minutes and stir well again to get the clams from the bottom to the top. Repeat this process until all the clams open.
  • Remove the pasta before it is completely cooked strain the water put the pasta back in the pot on the stove on a low medium flame add two tbs of butter mix well. Add enough sauce to the pasta to coat it a little cook until aldente or the texture you desire.
  • Put the pasta onto a serving platter ladle some more sauce on top with a few clams for decoration, sprinkle with grated cheese and chopped parsley and serve. Serve the clams in a bowl on the side or individual bowls the same way with cheese and parsley.
