Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced 

1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes 

1/3 cup dry white wine 

1 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed 

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 

1 tablespoon unsalted butter 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

4 ounces linguine 

1/2 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 

Directions

Special equipment:
Saute pan with a tight fitting lid
  1. Heat the oil in a large saute pan with a tight-fitting lid over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and pepper flakes and saute until fragrant. Don't let the garlic brown. Add the white wine and clams, increase the heat to high and cover the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all of the clams have opened, about 8 minutes. As the clams open, transfer them to a large bowl. When all of the clams are removed, reduce the heat to medium low, add the oregano and swirl in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Meanwhile, bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package direction. Using tongs, transfer the linguine to the saute pan with the clam juice and toss to coat. Turn off the heat and add the clams and any juices that have collected in the bowl. Using tongs, turn the linguine to coat it with the sauce. Top with parsley. Serve immediately.

Tried it tonight thr flavor is amazing! So easy to put together had dinner on the plates within 30min. I’ve made clams and linguine several times and was a little unsure of the taste without the lemon and parm, boy was I surprised! Thr clams came out so tender and the fresh clams left lots of flavor in the sauce. Made this exactly as it says and I don’t think I would tweak it other than a little lemon and a little more garlic.
