  • Linguine with red clam sauce

    • Rinshin on October 11, 2016

      Just the way I like my linguine with red clam sauce. To me, this recipe is a blueprint for making the sauce and you can adjust the spiciness by adding more (which I did) or less of red pepper flakes, the amount of extra virgin olive oil and pasta water at the end to coat the sauce. The amount of garlic cloves used in this recipe was perfect for me. Delicious every time.

      More than with white sauce, I love linguine with red clam sauce with lots of very good extra virgin oil. I have been in love with this pasta for over 20 years. I do add both oregano and fresh basil along with good quality white wine. The clams came from Hog Island fishing and were perfect brininess and size. New photo added.

Publishers Text

Nick Stellino revels in his love of good food and infuses each new book with the kind of zest for living that has become the hallmark of his television shows and personal appearances. This all-new collection is no exception, with more than one hundred recipes celebrating the quintessential Italian comfort foods that have such enduring and universal appeal.

Yet this is more than just a sampling of Italian classics. Nick's recipes for pizza, pasta and panini are imaginative and contemporary interpretations. He enlivens traditional pizzas - baked, fried or stuffed - with unusual ingredients and makes pasta from scratch as simple as 1-2-3. And in Nick's hands, easy-to-make sandwiches and breads, for which Italy is famous, become works of art.

This book speaks as much to the heart as it does to the taste buds. It draws on the rich culinary history of Nick's native Italy, shares the secrets of Italian home cooks, and features unique touches that could only come from this charismatic personality.
