    Method

    • Step-by-step Method: Clam Linguine
    • Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil for the linguine
    • Scrub and rinse the clams thoroughly under cold water
    • Mince the garlic and chop the parsley
    • In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat
    • Add minced garlic to the oil and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant

    • Remove cooked clams from pan with tongs and set aside; discard any unopened clams
    • Reduce the cooking liquid left in the pan by simmering for 2–3 minutes
    • Stir in butter and cream, whisking gently to combine into a smooth sauce
    • Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste
    • Add uncooked linguine to boiling water; cook until al dente according to package directions
    • Drain the pasta, reserving a small cup of pasta water
    • Add drained linguine directly to the clam sauce pan, tossing to coat
    • If sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached
    • Return the cooked clams to the pan and toss gently with the pasta
    • Sprinkle chopped parsley over the finished dish and toss again to distribute
    • Plate the linguine in bowls, arranging clams on top for presentation
