Ingredients
- salt for seasoning the pasta water and the sauce as needed
- 5 cloves of garlic finely minced
- pinch of red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- 20 littleneck clams purged and scrubbed clean *see note to replace with canned clams
- 6.5 ounce 1 can chopped clams
- 1 cup bottled clam juice
- ½ lb linguine bronze die cut if possible
- 1 lemon juiced
- 8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- ¼ cup finely chopped fresh parsley divided
Notes
- *If fresh clams are not available to you, simply replace them with an additional can of clams and proceed with the recipe, ignoring any prompts for the fresh clams.
- Use more or less garlic to taste - I love to use a lot, but adjust it to your liking.
- It's important to salt the pasta water but avoid adding too much or it can result in an overly salty dish because clams tend to be very salty. A few big pinches will do.
- All brands of pasta cook up a little differently, so always reference the package directions before cooking.
- It's important to use cold, unsalted butter to avoid the sauce separating or becoming overly salty.
