Ingredients
- 3/4 cup good quality olive oil
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 dozen small clams, such as littlenecks or Cherrystones, scrubbed, shucked, coarsely chopped, reserve liquor
- About 2 cups bottled clam juice
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 24 fresh clams, in their shells, for garnish
- 1 lb. linguine
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a deep heavy pot over low heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden, about 5 minutes.
- Combine the reserved clam liquor and enough bottled clam juice to make 3 cups. Add this to the pot along with the parsley, oregano, and salt and pepper. Simmer, partially covered, for 10 minutes. The sauce may be prepared ahead to this point.
- Meanwhile, scrub the garnishing clams, and put them in another pan with water to a depth of 1-inch. Cover, and set the pan over high heat. Shake the pan or stir the clams and remove them as they open. Reserve them in their shells. Discard any clams that don't open.
- Bring 4 -quarts salted water to a boil in a large pot. Drop in the linguine and cook until tender but still firm.
- Meanwhile, reheat the sauce if you have allowed it to cool. Add the chopped clams and heat gently; clams should not over-cook or they will become tough.
- Drain the linguine and toss it with the sauce. Serve it in the pot, topped by the clam garnish, or transfer to individual wide soup bowls and garnish each serving with the clams in their shells
