Instructions:
-
Prepare Linguine: Begin by cooking the linguine according to the package instructions until it’s al dente. Drain and set aside.

Prepare Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until they become soft and fragrant, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add Tomatoes: Pour in the diced tomatoes, stirring to combine with the garlic and onion mixture. Allow the sauce to come to a gentle boil.
-
Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for approximately 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
-
Incorporate Clams: After simmering, add the drained minced clams to the sauce, stirring them in gently. Allow the clams to heat through for about 2 minutes.
-
Serve: To serve, place a portion of the cooked linguine onto each plate. Spoon the red clam sauce over the linguine, ensuring each serving gets a generous amount. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top as desired for added flavor.
