I like easy meals but still using fresher ingredients. You can most definitely use fresh clams but sometimes you just use pantry staples. We love garlic so this is garlic forward. You can cut garlic called for in this by half.

Steps

20 minutes

1

Cook linguine according to package directions but minus 2 minutes from cooking time. You will finish the cooking with your sauce later. Start the pasta before assembling your sauce. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water.
2

In a high sided skillet over lowest heat add olive oil, garlic, anchovy and red pepper flakes. I used anchovy paste this time. Cook for about 7-10 minutes. You are infusing your oil with all that flavor.
3

Be careful and keep an eye on this step. You don't want any color to appear on the garlic.
4

Once garlic has become fragrant and anchovy dissolves, add your canned clams and it's juice. Also add the white wine now too.
5

Add lemon zest and juice. Put heat up to medium heat now. Let this come to a simmer.
6

Add in salt and pepper. Once linguine has cooked add it to the pan to finish cooking.
7

Add your parsley and pasta water and continue to stir and cook until a creamy sauce comes together and pasta is fully cooked.
8

Plate up your pasta and sprinkle some extra parsley on top. You can add freshly grated parmesan cheese if you like. Enjoy!
