Pasta Alle Vongole

While clams in the shell are ideal, you can also substitute shelled clams from the seafood section of your grocery store or canned clams. If using canned clams, use 2 6 ounce cans.

  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 pound linguine
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Saute shallots in olive oil and butter...(maybe a tablespoon or two of each. I like to be generous with the butter!)
  • Add minced garlic and saute another minute or two until fragrant, but not browned.
