Linguine with Clam Sauce is one of my favorite meals. I often order it when we’re out at an Italian restaurant, and I make it at home, too, but with a canned sauce. This was my first go at making it on my own, and it was actually really easy and tasted SO much better!
It’s a two-pot dish, one for the clams and sauce and one for the pasta, and there are a few steps here but it’s not difficult at all. Read through the whole recipe before you get started.
We finished it off with a drizzle of EVOO to bring it all together. Here’s the recipe:
This Linguine and Clam Sauce Recipe is so delicious and full of flavor with fresh clams and just a pinch of heat. Our new favorite pasta recipe! Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes you use depending on how much heat you like. It will spice up your dish if you go with a bigger pinch!Linguine and Clam Sauce Recipe

Notes
This easily made 6 servings so it would be a nice dish to serve if you had company. I really like that the entire meal is in one pot. And it’s got amazing flavor with the red pepper flakes, clams, and EVOO. This is the perfect dish for a fancy meal like an anniversary dinner or Valentine’s Day celebration!
