Tired of boiled pasta? So it's time to add variety and cook spaghetti with clams with a spicy sauce.
To prepare four servings, you will need:
- 2 cans (180 g each) of canned shellfish.
- 250 g spaghetti.
- 1 onion, preferably red.
- 2 tablespoons butter and 2 olive oil.
- 2 tablespoons flour.
- A glass of chicken broth.
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- Salt, pepper, 4 cloves of garlic.
- Greens.
You can start cooking this dish 15 minutes before you decide to sit down at the table. That is how much time it will take to prepare it.
First of all, you need to put a pot of water on the stove. While the water is boiling, finely chop the onion and parsley.
Prepare the sauce in a deep skillet. Its volume should be sufficient to accommodate the cooked spaghetti. First of all, vegetable and butter are poured onto a hot frying pan. When the oil is hot, add the onion and finely chopped garlic. Fry until the onion begins to brown. This is about 5 minutes over high heat.
When the onion is golden brown, add 2 tablespoons of flour and stir until completely dissolved in the oil. Add a glass of chicken stock, a teaspoon of red pepper and salt to the pan. Mix everything well and reduce heat to medium, cover the pan with a lid and leave to simmer for 5 minutes.
While the sauce is cooking, you can cook the spaghetti. This usually takes 10-12 minutes. To be sure, you can read what is written on the package.
When the spaghetti is cooked, they should be thrown into a colander and allowed to drain all the water. Add finely chopped parsley and clams to the sauce. If they are large, then it makes sense to cut them. Having mixed everything well, let the sauce steep for a minute and mix it all with the spaghetti. The dish is ready and ready to be served.
Grated Parmesan cheese is sprinkled on top of the dish. You can submit it separately and add as desired.
This dish can seem quite spicy due to the red pepper. Therefore, the first time you can try only half a teaspoon. If no one in the family is against spicy food, then add a whole teaspoon.
You can enhance the shellfish flavor if desired. To do this, it is enough to replace the chicken broth with sauce from a jar of clams. But at the same time, it is worth remembering that the sauce itself is salty, which means that it is not necessary to add salt to the dish. You can be guided by taste.
To save time, the sauce can be prepared in advance. Before serving, it is enough to warm it up, mix with shellfish and cooked spaghetti.
