- Step 1 of 6
Scrub the clams and soak them in cold salted water for 15 minutes to purge grit, then drain.
- Step 2 of 6
Boil the linguine in salted water until 2 minutes shy of al dente, reserving 1 cup pasta water before draining.
- Step 3 of 6
Heat the olive oil in a wide pot over medium and cook the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes until just golden, about 2 minutes.
- Step 4 of 6
Add the wine and clams, cover, and steam until the shells open, 5 to 7 minutes, discarding any that stay shut.
- Step 5 of 6
Add the linguine and butter and toss in the clam broth for 2 minutes so the pasta finishes cooking and drinks up the sauce.
- Step 6 of 6
Finish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon, and serve in shallow bowls.
