Transcript: Linguine With Clam Sauce

Hi, I'm Rachel Edelman for About.com Food. Today I'm going to show you how to make linguine with clam sauce.

Linguine With Clam Sauce Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need:
  • 12 ounces uncooked linguine
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 10-ounce cans of whole baby clams, drained
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 8 ounces bottled clam juice
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Cook the Linguine

First, in a large pot with boiling water, cook the linguine according to package directions. When it is ready, drain the pasta, set it aside, and cover it to keep it warm.

Combine the Clam Sauce Ingredients

Next, pour oil in large skillet over medium heat. Once it is hot, add the onion and the garlic. Saute for about two minutes.

Now add the baby clams and mix it in, cooking for another two minutes. Then season the mixture by adding the oregano, salt, and the pepper. Mix this all together.

Next, add the clam juice, the chicken broth, and the wine. Bring the mixture to a boil. Then, reduce the heat and simmer for about five minutes. You will see that it will reduce a little.

Serve the Linguine With Clam Sauce

Now, stir in the Parmesan cheese and simmer for one more minute, so the cheese melts.

Arrange the linguine into the serving dish. Pour the clam sauce over the linguine and toss it to combine everything. Enjoy.
