How To Make john's linguine and white clam sauce
-
Step 1Boil Linguine in chicken stock until al dente. Drain.
-
Step 2Meanwhile, fry half of the minced garlic, with the red onion in 2 Tbsp butter and a little olive oil until onion is translucent, and garlic begins to brown just a little & caramelize.
-
Step 3De-glaze the pan with the white wine. Then add clams, clam juice, red pepper flakes and salt. Cook until just bubbly. Then, sauté over medium heat for 10-15 additional minutes.
-
Step 4Add remaining garlic**, parsley & oregano, and 1/3 to 1/2 of parmesan. Stir to mix, then remove from heat. Toss 2/3 sauce into the Linguine.
-
Step 5On an oval serving platter, spoon Linguine mixture. Then spoon remaining clam sauce on top, in the center of pasta. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and add a sprig of basil or parsley for garnish.
-
Step 6**(Saving some of the garlic to be added in at the end will preserve the health properties inherent in garlic that cooking can sometimes steal away.)
