Linguine With A Wow Clam Sauce
Ingredients
- 4 lb little-neck clams
- 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil
- 4 lrg garlic cloves peeled, and thinly sliced
- 1/2 c. dry white wine
- 1/2 c. bottled clam juice
- 4 c. diced seeded ripe tomatoes

- 12 ounce linguine pasta cooked according to package instructions
Directions
- Rinse the clams under cool water. Drain and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large pot over low heat. Add in the garlic and cook for 3 min, till golden brown. Add in the wine and clam juice; simmer till the flavors meld, 5 min.
- Add in the clams, cover and steam, shaking the pot occasionally, till they open, about 8 min. Throw away any which don't open. With a slotted spoon, transfer the clams to a large, shallow serving bowl along with some of their juices. Toss gently with the tomatoes, scallions, basil, radicchio, salt and pepper.
- Divide the linguine among 4 shallow pasta bowls and top with the clam sauce. Serve immediately.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: Watch the garlic so it doesn't burn, but it must color. Throw away outer, tough radicchio leaves and cut out the tough veins. Serve in bowls.
