Pasta Alle Vongole
While clams in the shell are ideal, you can also substitute shelled clams from the seafood section of your grocery store or canned clams. If using canned clams, use 2 6 ounce cans.
Ingredients
- 2 shallot minced
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup white wine dry
- 2 cans clams with juice
- 1 pound clams you can sometimes find steamer clams frozen in the grocery store, fresh, in shells
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 pound linguine
- 2 Tablespoons parsley chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Saute shallots in olive oil and butter...(maybe a tablespoon or two of each. I like to be generous with the butter!)
- Add minced garlic and saute another minute or two until fragrant, but not browned.
- Add canned clams, wine and fresh clams and cover for a few minutes to steam the clams. 5 minutes or so or until clams open. Discard any un-opened clams.
- Toss clams with pasta and fresh parsley.
