Little Neck Clams and Linguine

Enjoy this fine dining dish of Littleneck clams and Linguine right in your own home. Most people would think you can only enjoy this dish in a fine Italian restaurant. Well, that is not true, this is so easy to make at home, I know you can do it.

This elegant dish is made with creamy garlic, and white wine sauce, you'll wonder what took you so long to try it.

We recently vacationed in Folly Beach South Carolina. In Folly Beach you will find Crosby's Fish and Shrimp Co. We stopped there one day and picked up six dozen fresh littleneck clams. We steamed them with white wine, butter, and garlic. We served these with butter and crusty bread, and they were so delicious.

After our vacation, I couldn't wait to pick up some littleneck clams and serve them with linguine. You can find littleneck clams at your local grocery store.

Preparing the Clams:

I bought 100 littleneck clams, we severed half of them with the linguine and the other half with just butter and some hot sauce.

The first thing you need to do is rinse the clams to remove any sand. Discard any of the calms that are opened or cracked. Then, soak them in a large bowl with tap water and some sea salt for 20 minutes.

Ingredients for Linguine and Clams:

1 lb. of linguine

2 shallots chopped

4 cloves garlic minced

3 tablespoon olive oil

4 tablespoon butter divided

1 cup white wine

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley

40 to 50 littleneck clams

Instructions:

Start the water for the linguine.

In a large skillet ( with a lid) I used my 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter, add the shallots and garlic. Cook this for about one minute until tender.
Add the wine and lemon juice. Bring to a boil.
Add the clams and top with parsley and cover. Steam for about 8 to 10 minutes until the clams open.
Drain the pasta (do not rinse the pasta) and add it to the skillet. If the skillet is too crowded remove some of the clams. Add the remaining butter and mix. Discard any clams that do not open.

The buttery garlic and wine sauce was a perfect choice for this Little Neck Clams and Linguine dish. This recipe easily satisfied four people and is so easy to prepare.

Fettuccini with King Oyster Mushrooms

This fettuccini pasta recipe is one of my favorite pasta dishes. The ingredients come together to create such a wonderful flavor.

I have been making this for several years now and thought I would share it with you. I haven't made this for some time and thought it was time to make this delightful pasta dish again. It ranks high on my list for easy fettuccini recipes.

This is not my recipe, some years ago while I was out of work I spent a lot of time watching the Cooking Channel.

I became a fan of Chef Roger Mooking follow the link to learn more about Roger and his recipes. I watched him make this dish and knew that I had to try it.

Everything in his recipe is fresh and this is so easy to make. Here are some of the ingredients that you'll need to make this amazing dish, fresh king oyster mushrooms, fresh thyme, chives, and baby spinach.

There is more so I urge you to follow this link to get his recipe. Fettuccini with King Oyster Mushrooms by Roger Mooking. I know you won't be sorry I think you and your family will love this one.

When you see Roger's recipe the prep time is 5 minutes and cook time is 15 minutes. Since Roger is a seasoned Chef and I'm not this took me a little longer to make. I'd say that I had this on the table in a little over 30 minutes, and it serves 4 people. Thank you, Roger, for this tasty pasta dish.

Marinara Sauce

Make Easy Marinara Sauce:

There is nothing that I like better than my tomato sauce cooking for hours and filling the house with that amazing aroma.

Today is certainly a busy world, and sometimes you just don’t have the time. This simple marinara sauce recipe can be ready in 15 minutes or less.

Marinara Sauce Ingredients:

1 – 28oz. can crushed tomatoes (you can also use diced tomatoes if you prefer)

2 cloves garlic finely diced

Olive oil (enough to cover the bottom of a 10-inch fry pan)

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 tablespoon parsley (dried or fresh)

¼ cup water

Fresh grated Romano cheese

Garlic powder

Salt and Pepper

Here is how I did this:

I covered the bottom of my 10-inch fry pan with olive oil and then added the garlic. Let this just begin to sizzle, not too much because you don’t want to burn the garlic.

Next, I added the can of tomatoes, Italian seasoning, parsley, and water. I had the burner set to medium heat and stirred until seasoning mixed in well.

I started a pot of water for our spaghetti, continuing to stir the marinara sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil for 2 minutes continue to stir, then turn your burner down to simmer.

Grate some fresh cheese on top, add some garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste and your marinara sauce is ready to mix with your pasta or spoon it over your plate of favorite pasta.

This recipe for Italian marinara sauce is so quick and easy you'll never want to buy sauce in a jar again.

Alfredo sauce for your favorite pasta is really easy to make, and it’s OH so delicious. Our daughter whipped this Alfredo sauce up just the other night for this amazing Tortellini Alfredo.

1/2 Stick of butter

1 1/2 cups of Parmesan Cheese (grated)

1 cup of heavy cream

½ cup of fresh chopped parsley (optional)

This is what you do:

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with the garlic, and then add the cream.
Bring this to a simmer while stirring, and add the grated cheese.
Continue to stir until you bring it to a slight boil
Pour over and mix with your favorite pasta, garnish with the fresh parsley, and enjoy a simple pasta Alfredo dinner.
