I substituted sliced artichoke hearts and zucchini for clams. On TV Ruby and I made half of this recipe, enough for 2 people.
Ingredients: 1 medium red onion 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 1 tablespoon hot red pepper flakes 10 pieces of quartered artichoke hearts, rinsed and sliced 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thin half moons 1 cup canned plum tomatoes, roughly chopped with their juices 1/2 cup dry white wine 1 pound linguine 1/2 cup finely chopped Italian parsley leavesInstructions: - Chop red onion into medium dice and toss into a hot 14 to 16-inch saucepan with oil. Add the garlic, chili flakes, zucchini, artichoke hearts, and cook for a few minutes.
- Add tomatoes and white wine. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until zucchini is tender.
- Bring 8 quarts of water to a boil in large pasta pot and add 3 tablespoons of salt.
- Meanwhile, drop the pasta in the salted water and cook according to the package directions, to 1 minute short of al dente. It should still be quite firm. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta in a colander and pour immediately into the saucepan with the potato mixture.
- Toss the pasta and cook over high heat for 45 seconds. Stir in the parsley, add some of the reserved water if the pasta seems too dry, and serve immediately.
