Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté gently for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Drain the pasta, reserving about half a cup of the cooking water.
  5. Add the canned clams with their juice, crushed red pepper, and dried oregano to the skillet.
  6. Simmer the clam mixture over low heat for 3 to 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  7. Stir in fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley, then cook for another minute.
  8. Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss well to coat the noodles in the sauce.
  9. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  10. Divide pasta among serving bowls and sprinkle generously with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
