Serve an Italian-inspired dish featuring quick-cooking linguine and clams in a light, fresh white wine sauce. Ingredients:
8 ounces uncooked linguine |
1/3 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano |
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 cups vertically sliced red onion |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
4 garlic cloves, sliced |
1/2 cup white wine |
1 1/2 pounds littleneck clams |
2 tablespoons butter |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain well.
2. Finely chop parsley; add oregano and rind.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion, red pepper, and garlic; sauté 4 minutes. Add wine and clams; cover and simmer 5 minutes or until shells open. Discard any unopened shells.
4. Combine clam mixture, pasta, butter, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl; toss until butter melts. Sprinkle with parsley mixture; toss well.
5. Sustainable Choice: Fresh clams are not only sustainable, but they also require no feed and they filter the water in which they live.
