Linguine with Clams
There is no simpler way to switch up your dinnertime routine than with this Linguine with Clams recipe, (made super easy with canned clams)! Pancetta infuses the skillet with savory flavor that is then deglazed with white wine and reduced down to enhance the other flavors in the dish, which include butter, shallots, garlic, clam juice, and simple seasonings. It’s finished off with a little Parmesan cheese, clams, lemon juice, and perfectly cooked linguine. I can’t wait for you to try this! (Be sure to check out my pro tips below!)
How to Make It
See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions. Brown the pancetta and set aside. Deglaze the skillet with white wine. Add the shallots and reduce the wine by half.
Add the clam juice, garlic, butter, and seasonings and stir to combine. Simmer on low while you boil linguine for 1 minute less than al dente. Stir the Parmesan cheese into the sauce. Add the clams and the cooked pancetta.
Add the linguine and lemon juice. Toss to combine. Add pasta water as needed and simmer for 1 minute. Taste and season with lemon pepper seasoning (or salt and freshly cracked pepper), if desired. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
Storage
