Linguine with Clam Sauce
Tender linguine tossed in a garlicky white clam sauce with wine, butter, lemon zest, and parsley. It tastes restaurant-special but comes together fast with pantry clams.
Ingredients
4 servings
Instructions
- Drain the clams, reserving the juice in a bowl. Set the clams aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook until softened without browning, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in garlic, basil, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.
- Add the white wine. Simmer 3 minutes. Add the reserved clam juice and cook uncovered for 8 minutes or until slightly reduced.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook al dente according to package directions. Drain the pasta, reserving ¾ cup pasta water.
- Whisk the butter and lemon zest into the sauce until smooth. Stir in the clams and cook 2–3 minutes more, just until heated through.
- Remove from heat and stir in parsley. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss with the pasta, adding pasta water as needed.
