Clam Carbonara Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
• Add the clams, wine, and pepper, and increase the heat to high. Cover and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the clams open, 6-10 minutes. Discard any clams that have not opened after 10 minutes.
• Use tongs to transfer the clams to a medium bowl and set aside. Scrape the contents of the pan into a large bowl. Whisk in the Parmesan, egg yolks, and egg until smooth.
• Add the warm linguine to the Parmesan cheese mixture, quickly tossing to coat evenly. Stir half of the clams into the pasta.
• Transfer the pasta to a large serving dish and top with the remaining clams. Sprinkle with more 6. Parmesan cheese and the parsley. Serve hot.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions. Drain and keep warm.
• 2. Heat saucepan, add chopped bacon and cook for about a minute (until just barely cooked).
• 3. Add the oil to the saucepan and sweat the onion (diced) until just before clear. Add the garlic (minced) and cook for one minute. Add the sweetcorn and the white wine and reduce to three tablespoons of liquid.
• 4. Add the cream and simmer for two minutes.
• 5. Remove the sauce from the heat and add the egg yolks, stirring well until the sauce thickens slightly.
• 6. Add the clams and spaghetti.
• 7. Pile onto a plate to serve and garnish with a wedge of lemon. Add Red pepper and parmesan cheese to taste.

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs, granulated garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toast the breadcrumbs, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
• Fill a large pot with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and season generously with salt. Add the spaghetti and cook to al dente, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large saute pan or skillet, add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil along with the garlic and red pepper flakes. Turn the heat on low and let cook until fragrant, for a few minutes. Stir in the wine and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the clams, then turn up the heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Use tongs to take the pasta out of the water directly into the pan (this works best when the pasta is a couple minutes away from being done; you want it really al dente so it finishes cooking in the sauce). Use tongs to toss. If dry, add a little pasta water. Add the parsley. Toss until coated in the sauce and the pasta is tender. Serve with the toasted breadcrumbs sprinkled on top.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
• Whisk together the eggs, yolks, Parmesan, Pecorino, pepper and butter if using in a large bowl until well combined.
• Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta.
• Meanwhile, cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Add the spaghetti and half the reserved pasta cooking water to the skillet and toss to combine.
• Add the egg mixture and toss to coat. Cook, tossing continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs, until the sauce is creamy, thinning it with the remaining pasta water if it becomes too thick (it should be saucy but not watery), about 1 minute.
• Divide the pasta among plates and sprinkle with more grated Parmesan.

Steps:

• Steam the clams in a covered pot (a glass top is very nice, voyeuristically speaking). You don't need any liquid other than what the clams will release. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it.
• After the clams open - it could take as little as 10 minutes - uncover and cool. Take the meat out and strain and reserve the liquid; make sure to leave any sand behind. Chop the clams if they're big.
• Cook the pasta in the boiling salted water. Put 1/4 cup olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. When the oil is warm, add the red pepper flakes and garlic and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the clams and continue to cook, stirring, for about a minute. Add about 1/2 cup of the reserved clam liquid.
• Drain the pasta when it's nearly done and stir it into the clams. Cook, stirring, until the pasta is tender and the mixture is saucy. Add more clam-cooking liquid (or hot water or white wine), if necessary. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding a little more oil if you like. Garnish, and serve.
