Linguine with Clams and Fresh Herbs

This elegant linguine with clams is a sophisticated seafood dish that brings the fresh flavours of the coast to your kitchen. By combining sweet canned clams with fresh, briny Manila or littleneck clams, you create a deep, savoury base that perfectly complements the aromatic blend of tarragon, basil, and parsley. A splash of double cream adds a subtle richness to the sauce, ensuring every strand of pasta is beautifully coated.

As a high-protein dinner option, this meal is both satisfying and nutritious, making it an excellent choice for a midweek treat or an impressive weekend lunch. The use of fresh herbs provides a bright, fragrant finish that lifts the dish, while the simple cooking method ensures the clams remain tender. Serve in warmed bowls with a crisp green salad for a complete Mediterranean-style feast.

How to make Linguine with Clams and Fresh Herbs

Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta.

Meanwhile, heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add canned clams with juice, basil, tarragon, and parsley. Add fresh clams. Cover; reduce heat to medium and cook until clams open, about 6 minutes. Using tongs, transfer fresh clams to plate (discard any clams that do not open). Add cooked pasta and cream to sauce in skillet. Toss over medium-high heat until sauce coats pasta, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide pasta between bowls. Top with fresh clams and serve.
