Today we are preparing White Clam Sauce with Linguini! Fresh clams are a must for this White Clam Sauce recipe. This is a simple recipe using only a few fresh ingredients, such as Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Garlic, lemon, parsley, basil, and of course, baby clams.
In the Liguria region of Italy, east of Genoa, Spaghetti alle vongole (veraci) means spaghetti with small baby clams in the shell, with a white wine/garlic sauce. Linguine also may be used for the pasta in preference to spaghetti in which we used for this White Calm Sauce recipe.

Linguine with Clams
RECIPE COURTESY OF GEOFFREY ZAKARIAN
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 35 min
Active: 40 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
2 pounds small clams, such as cockles or manila clams
Kosher salt
1 pound dried linguine
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional for drizzling
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 shallots, minced
1 to 2 large anchovy fillets in olive oil, drained and chopped
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 cup dry white wine
Directions
Soak the clams in cool water for about 30 minutes to expel the sand. Gently scrub the shells to remove any debris.
Bring a large pot of heavily salted water (it should taste like the sea) to a boil. Add the pasta to the water and cook until slightly less than al dente.
In a large braiser or sauté pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, shallots, anchovies and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until the shallots are soft, about 3 minutes.
Add the clams in a single layer, along with a sprinkle of the parsley and the wine. Cover the pan with a lid and steam, shaking the pan occasionally, until the clams open up, 4 to 5 minutes. Discard any clams that remain closed. Transfer the clams to a bowl and set aside.
Strain or transfer the pasta and add it directly to the pan with the clam sauce along with a drizzle of olive oil, tossing to combine. Let the pasta finish cooking with the sauce until the sauce thickens, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the remaining parsley to the pan and toss, then top with the clams and another drizzle of oil. Serve.
