2 tbsp (25 mL) butter
2 oz (60 g) thinly sliced pancetta, cut in thin strips
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup (75 mL) chopped fresh parsley
1/4 tsp (1 mL) hot pepper flakes
1/2 cup (125 mL) bottled clam juice
1/2 cup (125 mL) dry white wine
2 lb (1 kg) littleneck or Manila clams, scrubbed
12 oz (375 g) linguine or fettuccine
Preparation:
In large deep heavy skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Stir-fry pancetta until turning golden, 5 minutes. Remove from pan; drain off all but 1 tbsp (15 mL) fat.
Add garlic, 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the parsley and hot pepper flakes; stir-fry for 1 minute. Pour in clam juice and wine; bring to boil. Add clams; cover and steam until open, 5 minutes. Discard any that do not open.
Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook linguine until tender but firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and add to pan along with pancetta; toss to coat well. Serve sprinkled with remaining parsley.
