LINGUINE AND CLAMS WITH FRESH RED SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta according to package directions until 3 minutes shy of al dente. (It will finish cooking in the sauce; pasta should be toothsome but not crunchy.) Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain pasta.
• Meanwhile, once pasta is cooking, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to pop, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add reserved clam juice (you should have about 1 cup) and stir to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Add sauce, pasta, 1/2 cup of the pasta water and the butter back to the large pot, and cook, stirring vigorously, until sauce is thickened and pasta is al dente, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup more pasta water if a thinner sauce is desired.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the clams, cheese and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide pasta among bowls and garnish with cheese, parsley, black pepper and red-pepper flakes, if using.

• Begin making the sauce while the pasta is cooking. Set a large 14-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan and once hot, add the onions and saute until lightly caramelized and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the wine and tomato paste, stir to combine well, and cook until the wine has nearly completely evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes, remaining teaspoon of salt, and the par-cooked pasta to the pan, toss to combine, and bring the sauce to a boil. Add the clams to the pan and cover. Continue to cook until the shells open, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the parsley and toss to combine. Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the pasta and toss to combine. Serve while hot.

LINGUINI WITH RED CLAM SAUCE (LINGUINI CON LE VONGOLE AL SUGO)

Steps:

• A Neopolitan custom is to let the clams soak in very cold water with a tsp of salt and the juice of one lemon for about 1/2 hour.
• This will remove any sand or grit in the clams.
• This step is optional, but I do suggest that you at least scrub the outer shells of the littlenecks quite well with a vegetable brush.
• Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil for the linguini.
• In another pan, heat olive oil over medium high heat.
• Add shallots and crushed red pepper and sauté until shallots are softened.
• Add chopped garlic and anchovies, and saute until anchovies begin to melt into the olive oil, careful not to let garlic get too dark.
• Carefully add chopped tomatoes with their liquid.
• Stir to combine, and add dried basil and oregano.
• Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer sauce until ready to cook clams and linguini.
• Add little neck clams to the simmering tomato sauce, stir to coat well, and cover.
• While clams begin to steam in sauce, generously salt the boiling pasta water, add linguini, and cook until al dente, (about 7 minutes).
• As clams begin to open, I remove them to a large bowl and cover, until pasta and remaining clams are cooked.
• Drain pasta, and transfer to a serving bowl.
• Top with tomato sauce and toss with chopped fresh basil.
• Finally, add cooked clams over top the pasta, still in their shells.
