Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Clams: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the clams and pour in the white wine and clam juice. Cover the skillet and cook until the clams open, about 5-7 minutes. Discard any clams that do not open.
  3. Combine and Serve: Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Add the chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with lemon wedges.
