Linguine With Red Clam Sauce Recipe
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Salt
- 12 ounce Uncooked linguine
- 1 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Chopped garlic
- 1 can Chunky tomato sauce, (15-oz) (see note)
- 1 can Diced tomatoes, (14.5-oz) liquid removed (throw away juice or possibly save for another use)
- 2 can Chopped clams, (10.5-oz) (see note)
- 2 x Bay leaves
- 1 tsp Dry basil
- 1/4 tsp Dry red pepper flakes
Directions
- Put a big pot of water up to boil for the pasta. As soon as it boils, add in salt to taste, then stir in linguine. Cook according to package directions.
- Prepare the sauce while the water boils and the pasta cooks. Heat oil in a large skillet. Add in garlic and stir just till hot, about 30 seconds. Don't let garlic brown.
- Quickly add in tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Stir well. Drain juice from one can of clams; add in juice to skillet. Add in bay leaves, basil and red pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, till thick and flavors blend, about 10 to 15 min.
- Just before serving, drain remaining can of clams; throw away juice. Stir clams into sauce. Remove from heat immediately, or possibly clams will toughen.
- Remove bay leaves, toss sauce with pasta and serve.
- Yield: 4 servings.
- Note: I recommend Hunt's Ready chunky tomato sauce and Progresso Recipe Ready chopped clams. By POST-DISPATCH food editor Judith Evans.
