Chris Prosperi Clams Casino Pasta

By linda giuca and christopher prosperi Feb 05, 2018 at 12:00 PM When time is short, turn to the pantry to make this quick recipe for Pasta with Clams and Oysters. Other quick-cooking shellfish, such as mussels or medium shelled shrimp, can be substituted for the clams, but you might need an extra splash of pasta water to loosen the sauce. Carla Lalli Music.

• 1 pound small pasta like ditalini cooked in salted boiling water until cooked and drained
• 1 cup small diced onion
• 1 red pepper small-diced
• 3 cloves garlic-minced
• 4–5 slices bacon-chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 teaspoons dry oregano
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1-8 ounce bottle clam juice
• 1-6.5 ounce can chopped clams
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 small bunch parsley chopped
• 1/4 cup pecorino cheese

In a large pot combine the diced onion, red pepper, garlic, and bacon and cook on medium low until the onions start to brown and the bacon is cooked.

• From Chris Prosperi: Most of us grew up having Progresso canned clam sauce on spaghetti; we dumped a can into a saucepan, heated it and mixed in the linguine. That was it, and we ate it happily.
• The Best Thing I Ever Ate is a television series that originally aired on Food Network, debuting on June 22, 2009 (after a preview on June 20). The program originally aired as a one-time special in late 2008.

Now add the red pepper flakes and oregano and stir in well.

Pour in the white wine and simmer until reduced by about 1/2. Then pour in the calm juice and bring back to a simmer.

Next dump in the cooked drained pasta and mix well.

When it starts to simmer add the clams with the juice from the can and the butter.

Simmer until thickened slightly about 2-3 minutes.

To finish add the chopped parsley and cheese. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper if needed.
