Linguine in White Clam Sauce
|
Recipe courtesy Elaine Corn. Ingredients: Salt to taste
1/2 lb. linguine, spaghetti, or other thin pasta strands
Minced garlic to taste
2 Tbs. melted butter
2 Tbs. flour
1/4 cup dry white wine
10 oz. can chopped clams
1 cup clam juice, drained from can of clams
Black pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley to taste
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Lemon wedges to taste Preparation: Fill a Dutch oven 2/3's the way up with water and add salt to taste. Cover, put on high heat, and bring to a boil. When the water boils with big bubbles, add 1/2 pound linguine slowly so that the water keeps its boil, and cook according to package directions. Put your colander in a clean sink. Place 2 tablespoons butter in a medium-size pot and turn the heat to medium high. When the butter sizzles, add minced garlic to taste. Stir with a wooden spatula until a few pieces turn golden on the edges, scarcely 30 seconds. Immediately sprinkle in 2 tablespoons flour and stir 1 minute without stopping. Now, whisk in 1/4 cup dry white wine, stirring to mix well and then add 1 cup clam juice and a 10 ounce can chopped clams Stir and simmer, uncovered, for 4 minutes, by that time your pasta should be done. Drain the pasta in the colander and put it on the platter. Mix chopped parsley and black pepper to taste into the sauce. Pour the sauce on the pasta, toss and serve. Garnish with lemon wedges. Servings: 4 Chef's Note: Timing is important in this dish. The pasta and sauce should come out relatively together. If you are going to err, have the sauce ready before the pasta. Combining the sauce with the linguine before serving gives a silken coating to the pasta.
