Ingredients

Directions

In a large pot, bring to a boil 6 quarts of salted water. Add pasta, stirring constantly in the beginning to prevent it from sticking together. Cook until al dente, about 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large saute pan. When almost smoking, add shallots and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the clams and wine. Cover and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes or until most clams have opened.

Add 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. Whisk in butter to thicken sauce slightly.

Drain pasta in a colander. Do not rinse pasta with water - this will remove the pasta's natural starches. Place pasta into the clam saute pan and mix thoroughly. Check seasoning.

Pour pasta into large serving bowl. Zest lemon over the dish, being carefull not to zest the white part of the lemon, which is bitter. Garnish with remaining parsley. Serve immediately.

    Very good and quick to make. Had to substitute canned clams since I didn't have fresh clams. Followed everything else in the recipe. Will definitely try it again and maybe with some fresh clams and probably a Chardonnay instead of the basic white cooking wine I had to use.

    This recipe is so easy & it comes out perfect! I don't add any salt though bc the clams are a little salty already. And I had to turn the heat up to a medium high to get the clams to open. Yummy with parmesan cheese!
