Linguine Alla Vongole
By: Irishcolleen

This is one of my very favorite Italian pasta dishes. I serve it with crusty french bread for dipping in the sauce, with a side salad of baby mixed lettuces, spinach, and grape tomatoes. The recipe is from my late mother's collection. 
Very quick and easy to prepare, using canned chopped clams.
SERVES 6 -8
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 6 fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (28 ounce) can chopped clams, undrained
- 1/4 cup Italian parsley, finely chopped
- sea salt
- cayenne pepper
Directions
1
Heat olive oil in saucepan and simmer on low for about 2 minutes. Add butter. When butter is melted, add garlic and let simmer for another 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and heat thoroughly, but do not allow to boil, because clams will get tough. Serve over hot linguine with freshly ground black pepper. I also like a little grated parmesan cheese on top. Enjoy!

This was delicious, and super easy. The only problem I had was finding such a large can of chopped clams. I can only seem to locate 6 oz. cans, so I used 2 10-oz. cans of baby clams and 1 6 oz. can of chopped clams, with all their liquid. It turned out perfectly. We enjoyed this over whole wheat linguine (to minimize the guilt). I will be making this again. Made for Pick A Chef Fall 2009.

Have just moved to Italy from Oz with the fam and wanted to cook something quick, tasty and Italian. Irishcolleen, your recipe was a life saver as my fussy Italian in-laws loved it. Thanks mate!

I can see why this is a favorite of yours. My only regret with this is that I forgot the crusty bread. I wished I had that to dunk in the broth. I scaled back the recipe to serve one, with some leftovers, of course. I highly recommend this dish to anyone. Thanks Irishcolleen for posting such a fabulous recipe.
