Method

  1. Soak the fresh palourde clams in cold salted water for 30 minutes to remove any grit.
  2. Cook the linguine according to the pack instructions.
  3. Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a sauté pan and warm through 2 crushed garlic cloves until softened and fragrant. Pour in the fino sherry, then bring to the boil for a minute.
  4. Immediately add the drained clams and cover the pan tightly with a lid. Cook for a couple of minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until all the clams have opened. Discard any that remain closed.
  5. Stir through 3-4 finely chopped hot pickled peppers (guindillas). Drain the pasta, then toss with the clams and sauce. Squeeze over lemon juice and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.

  1. Use plenty of salt in your cooking water – about 2 tbsp fine salt to every litre of water. The pasta absorbs the water, becoming properly seasoned.
