Linguine + clam sauce

One of my favorite summer pasta recipes - linguine + clam sauce 🦪This is my grandma’s favorite meal, so I always think about her + smile when they make it. 

Ingredients:

• Boil a pot of water + add pasta, stir constantly to prevent it from sticking.

• Heat the olive oil in a large pan. When almost smoking, add garlic + saute until soft and translucent (be careful not to burn the garlic). Add the clams, clam juice + wine. Cover + simmer for 6-8 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Add a handful of chopped parsley + season with salt + pepper.

• Drain the pasta in a colander (do not rinse pasta - this will remove the natural starches!) Place pasta into the clam sauté pan + mix to evenly coat the pasta.

• Pour pasta into large serving bowl. Squeeze lemon over the dish + garnish with parsley. 
  

Buon Appetito!
