Spaghetti With Canned Clams Food

SPAGHETTI WITH CANNED CLAMS

Steps:

• Drain the chopped clams reserving the clam juice and set aside. You will yield about 1 1/2 cups clam juice.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta to al dente(one to two minutes under time recommended in package). Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water right before you drain the pasta in case you need it for the sauce.
• In a large skillet, heat the butter and a few tablespoons olive oil to medium. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper if using. (See Note) Cook for four to five minutes or until the garlic slices start to turn golden.
• Add the wine, turn the heat up to medium high and allow one to two minutes for the alcohol to cook off. Add the clam juice (Not the chopped clams), the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Once the liquid starts boiling reduce the heat to medium. Check your pasta. Reserve your pasta water and drain. If your clam sauce is done and your pasta is not, turn off the heat until your pasta is ready.
• When the pasta is done, drain and add to the skillet with the clam sauce. Add the chopped clams and chopped parsley and toss. It will seem like a lot of sauce but it will thicken and be absorbed by the pasta over time. You shouldn't need more liquid but if you feel it needs it, add some of the pasta water a little at a time. I like to add extra drizzles of olive oil before serving. Taste and adjust according to your liking for more salt and/or lemon juice. Plate and serve.

SPAGHETTI WITH CANNED-CLAM SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a 12-inch stainless steel skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, and swirl pan until foaming subsides. Add celery, shallots, half the parsley (1/4 cup; 15g), garlic, Thai chile (if using), and a couple healthy grinds of black pepper to pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft and mixture is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add bottled clam juice along with liquid from canned clams but not the clam meat. Increase heat to high and bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer until liquid is slightly reduced and vegetables have infused broth, about 5 minutes-there should be enough liquid in the pan to fully submerge the pound of cooked pasta. Turn off heat and add clam meat and soy sauce.
• In a pot of salted, boiling water, cook spaghetti, stirring frequently, until about 4 minutes shy of the way you like your pasta cooked (some would say "al dente"). When spaghetti is almost at that point of doneness, bring pan of clam sauce to a boil over high heat.
• Using tongs, transfer spaghetti to pan with clam sauce, distributing pasta so it is mostly submerged in sauce. Cook, tossing and stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked to your liking and sauce has thickened slightly, about 4 minutes. Taste for seasoning, and add salt if necessary.
• Turn off heat, add remaining butter and parsley, and toss and stir spaghetti vigorously to incorporate parsley and emulsify butter into sauce. Divide pasta among four serving plates, spooning sauce and clams evenly over each portion. Garnish with celery leaves, and serve immediately, passing lemon wedges, for squeezing, at the table.

ONE-POT CLAM SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Place the spaghetti, clams with their juices, olive oil, oregano leaves, crushed red pepper, garlic, onion and a good pinch of salt in a large high-sided skillet. Add 4 1/2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring and turning the pasta frequently with tongs, until the spaghetti is al dente and most of the liquid has evaporated and thickened, 9 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and fold in the spinach, Parmesan and butter. Toss to make sure everything is well coated and combined. Season to taste with black pepper and more salt if needed. Serve, garnished with more oregano leaves and crushed red pepper flakes.

SPAGHETTI AND CLAMS

Steps:

• Coat the bottom of a pan with the olive oil. Saute onion, green pepper, and chopped garlic in the olive oil.
• In a large pot combine clam juice, oregano and basil and a dash of salt and black pepper. Add Sauteed ingredients and 1/2 cup to 1 cup water. Bring all ingredients to a slow boil. Then add 1/4 cup dry white wine and chopped or minced clams.
• Let mixture continue to cook at a slow boil. Then add thoroughly cleaned little neck clams in shell. Add garlic powder, remaining oregano, and basil. Stir, cover, cook until necks open, (discard any clams that do not open, approximately 5 to 6 minutes). Stir again. Cover. Let simmer for 20 minutes stirring occasionally.
• To boiling water, add linguini or spaghetti. Cook 8 to 10 minutes. Strain spaghetti and put in bowl. Pour clam mixture over top.

SPAGHETTI WITH CLAMS

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring to a boil 6 quarts of salted water. Add pasta, stirring constantly in the beginning to prevent it from sticking together. Cook until al dente, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large saute pan. When almost smoking, add shallots and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the clams and wine. Cover and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes or until most clams have opened.
• Add 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. Whisk in butter to thicken sauce slightly.
• Drain pasta in a colander. Do not rinse pasta with water - this will remove the pasta's natural starches. Place pasta into the clam saute pan and mix thoroughly. Check seasoning.
• Pour pasta into large serving bowl. Zest lemon over the dish, being carefull not to zest the white part of the lemon, which is bitter. Garnish with remaining parsley. Serve immediately.

SPAGHETTI WITH CANNED CLAMS

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs, granulated garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toast the breadcrumbs, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
• Fill a large pot with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and season generously with salt. Add the spaghetti and cook to al dente, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large saute pan or skillet, add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil along with the garlic and red pepper flakes. Turn the heat on low and let cook until fragrant, for a few minutes. Stir in the wine and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the clams, then turn up the heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Use tongs to take the pasta out of the water directly into the pan (this works best when the pasta is a couple minutes away from being done; you want it really al dente so it finishes cooking in the sauce). Use tongs to toss. If dry, add a little pasta water. Add the parsley. Toss until coated in the sauce and the pasta is tender. Serve with the toasted breadcrumbs sprinkled on top.

• Use a deep 12" saute pan or Dutch oven to prepare this one skillet dish since the anchovies tend to splatter.

• Add the red pepper flakes and reserved clam juice and two cans of chicken broth and bring up to a slow boil.
• Pour in the white wine and add the whole pound of spaghetti and cook till almost done. The spaghetti will absorb most of the liquid.
• When almost done to your desired tenderness add the clams and parsley. If the spaghetti has absorbed too much liquid just add more water. There is no need to add any more salt.

CLAM AND SHRIMP SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet and add garlic and onions. Reserve a couple of tablespoons of the green part of the onion for garnish. Saute until nearly done. Drain Clams well into a measuring cup. You should get 1/4 to 1/2 cup of juice. Add clam juice, chicken broth and wine to the skillet. Add italian seasonings and bring to a rolling boil. Boil until sauce has reduced somewhat approximately 5 minutes, reduce heat to simmer. Continue to cook while pasta is cooking. If sauce is not to desired thickness you can add some parmesan cheese to help thicken the sauce or a little cornstarch mixture. I like to add about1/4 cup parmesan to the sauce. Sauce should be somewhat thin. When pasta has approximately 4 minutes until it is completely finished, add in the clams and the shrimp. Cook only until shrimp turns pink. Cover and set aside.
• PASTA:
• Prepare pasta according to directions. When finished rinsed lightly. You will want the pasta to retain some heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter which has been broken into smaller pieces, 2 tablespoons Italian seasonings and 1 cup of parmesan cheese. Blend well and cover.
• SERVE:.
• Divide pasta onto 4 dinner plates and top with sauce mixture, topping with parmesan cheese and a bit of reserved green onions.
• NOTES: If you like a lot of sauce with your pasta you can increase the sauce mixture to desired amount.
