Instructions
-
In large pot over high heat, bring 4 quarts of water and 2 tablespoons of kosher salt to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package directions until just shy of al dente.
-
In a very large sauté pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil until hot but not smoking. Add the shallots and garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until just golden.
-
Add the wine, red pepper flakes, ¾ teaspoon of kosher salt, clams, and ¼ cup of the parsley; bring to a simmer and cook, covered, for 6 to 8 minutes, until the clams open. Discard any unopened clams.
-
Reserving ½ cup of the cooking water, drain the linguine in a colander without rinsing.
-
Add the pasta to the sauté pan with the clams. Increase the heat to medium and cook the linguini with the clams, tossing occasionally, for 1 to 2 minutes, until the pasta absorbs most of the sauce and is just tender.
-
Remove the pan from the heat. Add the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of parsley; toss to coat. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, lemon zest and/or lemon juice, if necessary.

Transfer to a serving dish or bowls and serve. Enjoy!
