List of Ingredients



• 1 lb. fresh baby clams
  
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  
• 2 tsp olive oil
  
• 1 tsp red chili flakes
  
• 1/4 cup white wine
  
• 1/8 cup Italian parsley
  
• 1 tsp lemon juice
  
• 1 tsp lemon zest
  
• 2 cups shellfish broth *
  
• 1 lb. linguine
  






Instructions



1. Rinse clams in cold water, but don't leave them submerged in the water. Drain them well before cooking.
   
   
2. Saute garlic in olive oil. Add red chili flakes. Once garlic starts to brown, add clams. Coat them with the oil-and-garlic mixture. Add white wine and cover the pan. After a couple of minutes, the clams will steam open. Add parsley, lemon juice and lemon zest. Add shellfish broth.
   
   
3. Cook linguine in boiling water seasoned with salt. Once done, drain and add to the pan with clams. Toss well.

   * Canned clam broth will work, but make sure to buy the kind with less salt, or dilute it with water.
