Classic Linguine with Clams Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium white onion, chopped
• 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, pressed
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 4 (6.5 ounce) cans chopped clams, drained and rinsed with juices reserved
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup chopped flat leaf parsley

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add linguine pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, achieving the perfect al dente texture. Drain the pasta thoroughly and set aside.
2. Melt butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet, ensuring it's evenly distributed. Add finely chopped onions, sliced mushrooms, and minced garlic, and sauté until they become tender and fragrant. Pour in white wine and simmer gently for 10 minutes, reducing heat if necessary to prevent burning.
3. Stir in the fresh clams, reserved clam juice for added flavor, sour cream for richness, a dash of pepper for spice, and freshly chopped parsley for freshness. Simmer the mixture for another 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Toss the flavorful clam sauce with the cooked linguine, and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious linguine with clams!
