Ingredients
24 | littleneck clams | |
2/3 | cup | dry white wine |
12 | oz. | whole wheat linguine |
Sauce | ||
3 1/2 | Tbsp. | olive oil, divided |
4 | garlic cloves, minced | |
pinch | crushed red pepper | |
1/4 | tsp. | kosher salt |
1/4 | tsp. | freshly ground black pepper |
Topping | ||
1/4 | cup | whole wheat bread crumbs |
2 | Tbsp. | minced fresh parsley |
Directions
- Wash the clams well, removing all grit. Place the wine in a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Place the clams in the skillet, cover, and steam until the clams open, about 5 to 8 minutes. Reserve the pan liquid; discard any unopened clams. Remove the clam meat and chop coarsely. If necessary, add enough water to the reserved pan liquid to equal 1 cup. Set aside.
- Bring a large 6-quart pot of lightly salted water to boiling. Add the linguine and cook for 9 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 3 Tbsp. of the oil and the garlic over low heat for 10 minutes. Add the chopped clams and 1 cup of the reserved pan liquid, and simmer the sauce for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the crushed red pepper, salt, and black pepper to the sauce.
- Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
- For the topping, in a small skillet, heat the 1/2 Tbsp. of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the bread crumbs and toast for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the parsley and combine.
- Add the clam sauce to the pasta, and toss well to coat the noodles. Add the bread crumb mixture and toss. Serve immediately.
