Castello della Sala Bramìto del Cervo 2006 (Italy)


  • 4 Servings
  • Prep 10 min
  • Cook 20 min

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 pound fettuccine or linguine pasta
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Three 5-inch links precooked chorizo (9 ounces total), sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1-1/2 cups dry white wine
  • 3 dozen small clams, such as littleneck, rinsed
  • 1-1/2 cups diced tomatoes with their juice
  • 1/3 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Smart move
Buy clams with tightly closed shells, refrigerate in an open bowl (not on ice) and eat within 48 hours.

Directions:

  1. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta until al dente; drain.

  2. Meanwhile, in a large, heavy pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the wine and clams, cover and boil. Stir occasionally and, as the clams open, transfer them to a large bowl. Add the tomatoes to the pan and boil for 5 minutes.

  3. Lower the heat to low, add the pasta to the sauce and stir to combine. Divide among 4 shallow bowls, add the clams and sprinkle the parsley on top.
