Orecchiette pasta and littleneck clams

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
12 ounces Orecchiette or shell pasta
2 tablespoons Olive oil
4 tablespoons Chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 teaspoons Chopped fresh oregano or 3/4 teaspoon
; dried
3 Dozen littleneck clams; scrubbed
⅓ cup Dry white wine
2 tablespoons Chopped shallot
1 tablespoon Chopped garlic
2 teaspoons Chopped fresh thyme or 3/4 teaspoon dried

Directions

Cook orecchiette in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain. Return to pot. Mix in oil, 2 tablespoons parsley and oregano.

Meanwhile, combine clams, wine, shallot, garlic and thyme in large Dutch oven. Cover; boil until clams open, about 8 minutes (discard any that do not open).

Add pasta to clams and stir to blend. Cook over medium-high heat until pasta absorbs some clam juices, about 3 minutes. Season with pepper.

Transfer to large bowl. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons parsley and serve.

Serves 4.
