Servings: 2

Preparation duration: 20 minutes

Cooking duration: 10 minutes

 

Ingredients:

2 pounds cockles (clams)

1/2 cup dry white wine, divided

2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

2 garlic cloves, grated or minced

6 ounces fresh linguine

2 tablespoons olive oil

1-2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Equipment:

bowl

pot

frying pan

tongs

Cooking instruction summary:

Gently wash the outside of the clam shells to remove any algae or seaweed from the shells. Place clams in a large bowl (or your sink) and fill with cold water. Let the clams stay in the water for at least 30 minutes to spit out any sand. You will see sand start to settle on the bottom of the bowl or sink. I normally let my clams sit for 30 mins, rinse the bowl/sink, refill with more cold water and let sit for another 30 minutes. Once the clams are ready give them a rinse and set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add in a heavy pinch of kosher salt. Add fresh pasta to the pot and boil for 2 minutes to soften the pasta and drain, set aide. In a large skillet set over medium high heat add olive oil and butter. When the oil/butter is hot add garlic, red pepper flakes, 1/4 cup white wine and clams. Cover and let cook for about 5 minutes or until all the clams have opened up. If you notice a clam shell that does not open, throw it away. Using tongs remove the clams from the skillet and place into a bowl. Add remaining 1/4 cup wine to the skillet and add in pasta. Toss to warm pasta and let it continue cooking until al dente. The pasta will soak up some of the juices in the skillet. Once the pasta is cooked add clams back to the skillet and sprinkle with parsley. Toss to combine. If the pasta seems a little dry you can drizzle with a little extra good quality olive oil. Serve warm and with crusty bread to sop up all the delicious sauce.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
