It is one of those restaurant meals you can successfully cook at home in a flash. As always with dishes that have very few ingredients, the quality and freshness of those ingredients is key. Buy your clams as fresh as possible and try to find small ones. Let’s prepare linguine with garlic and chilli clams recipe.# Tap each clam lightly and discard any that won’t close.
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, or according to the instructions on the packet. Drain well and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Add the garlic and chillies and cook until the garlic just starts to sizzle, flavouring the oil without burning. Increase the heat to high, add the wine and cook until it boils and has reduced by half.
