Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound linguine
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 leeks, chopped
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 cans (6.5 ounces each) clams, undrained
Instructions:
-
Prepare Linguine: Cook linguine according to package directions. Once cooked, set aside.
-
Saute Garlic and Leeks: In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped leeks, cooking until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
-
Add Wine and Seasonings: Pour in the dry white wine, then add white pepper and dried oregano. Cook over high heat until the liquid is reduced by half. Be vigilant and stir occasionally to prevent burning.
-
Incorporate Clams: Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the canned clams with their juices. Heat through, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
-
Combine with Linguine: Add the cooked linguine to the saucepan with the clam mixture. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the flavorful sauce.
-
Simmer: Cover the saucepan tightly and let it simmer over low heat. It’s crucial not to let it boil; instead, simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to allow the pasta to absorb some of the delicious broth.
-
Serve: Once the pasta has absorbed the flavors of the sauce, serve the Linguine with White Clam Sauce immediately, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Enjoy this tantalizing dish that brings the taste of Italy right to your dinner table! 🇮🇹
