Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4-5 finely minced cloves of garlic
- ½ peeled and small diced shallot
- 12 fresh rinsed clams
- ¾ cup white wine
- 10 ounces canned whole clams in juice
- 6.5 ounces canned chopped clams in juice
- small bunch finely minced fresh parsley
- 1 pound fresh or dried pasta
- sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a large rondeau or frying pan over low heat and stir in the garlic and shallots and cook for 1 minute.
- Place in the fresh clams and stir until combined. Place on a lid and cook for 6-8 minutes or just until the clams begin to open.
- Next, deglaze with the wine and turn the heat to medium-high to high heat and cook for 3-4 minutes to reduce the amount of wine, and until the clams are completely opened up.
- Turn the heat to low and add in the canned clams, salt, pepper, and ¾ of the chopped parsley and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
- Add the pasta to a large pot of boiling salted water and cook until al dente.
- Strain the noodles and toss with the clam’s saucepan.
- Serve with optional grated parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and remaining chopped parsley.

Notes
- Chef Notes:
- Make-Ahead: This recipe is meant to be eaten as soon as it is done cooking.
- How to Reheat: Add your desired amount to a pan over low heat and heat up until warm. You may need to add in a little bit of water or chicken stock to reconstitute.
- How to Store: Place covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This recipe will not freeze well.
- You should definitely use Fresh Pasta Dough Recipe, but if not, you can easily swap out for dried.
- I personally like to use an Italian white wine like Pinot grigio, but other great wines you could use are chardonnay or sauvignon blanc.
