Amazing White Clam Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

½ cup olive oil

1 large onion

chopped

6 cloves garlic

minced

1 pinch red pepper flakes

or to taste

1 ¾ cups half-and-half cream

3 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams

drained with juice reserved

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping

1 (8 ounce) package dried linguine pasta

White Cheese Sauce

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and red pepper flakes and cook stirring constantly until onion is tender. Add garlic and cook for a couple of minutes just until fragrant. Pour in the reserved clam juice and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Gradually stir the half-and-half cream into the skillet and simmer for another 20 minutes but do not boil. At this time I like to prepare my linguine and garlic bread.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente.

Step 4

Add clams to the sauce and cook just until clams are heated through or they will become tough and chewy. Remove from heat and serve over linguine pasta. Top with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
