- Ready In:

- Serves:

4
ingredients
- 1 lb linguine (Filomena's Pasta Fresca)
-
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups dry white wine
- 2 dozen scrubbed clams (OR lots more, it can only get better!)
- 1⁄2 cup fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons cracked pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)
directions
- Cook the linguine al dente in boiling salted water with a tablespoon of oil added.
- While the pasta boils make the sauce: In a large pan (I use a wok) saute the garlic in the olive oil. Add the butter and wine and bring to a boil. Add the clams and cover while cooking about 3 minutes. Peek at the clams and cover and remove from heat if the clams have started to open. Add the salt, cracked black pepper and red pepper flakes to taste. Be careful with the salt --
- Make your pasta bowl hot in the microwave or by pouring hot water in it. (My grandmother used the pasta bowl as a lid for the boiling pasta water.).
- Add pasta to the bowl and pour the sauce over it, arranging the clams in the shell on top. Scatter the parsley over the top and pass the crusty bread!

Hello Zaars and Zaarinas!
Thank all of you who tried my 'memory' recipes and left such nice reviews and for taking such lovely pictures. I do appreciate your comments.
My pet peeves about cooking are recipe reviews where the reviewer says, "I made the recipe exactly as written EXCEPT yada yada yada" and I don't like suggestive names or titles such as, "Better Than Sex". I don't know why anyone would eat anything that is 'sinful' or 'decadent' since decadent is described as being decaying. Also, PAP-RI-KA only has 3 syllables. VINAIGRETTE is pronounced vin-a-grette, not vinager-ette. It's mas-car-pone not mars-ca-pone. And I don't like cutesy adult baby talk,,, or metro chic names like delish, nutrish, yummo, sammy, BAM! Oh well, I make as many, or more, faux pas as the next guy especially in ASL!
