Indulge in a quick and tasty clam and sausage pasta dinner ready in just 40 minutes.
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 lb bulk hot Italian sausage
  • 3 medium onions, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped (1 cup)
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 cans (14.5 oz each) diced tomatoes with roasted garlic, undrained
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine or clam juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup small pimiento-stuffed olives, coarsely chopped
  • 24 littleneck clams (about 2 lb), scrubbed*
  • 12 oz uncooked linguine
  • Grated Romano or Parmesan cheese, if desired
Instructions:
  • In a 4-quart Dutch oven, sauté sausage, onions, carrots, and garlic over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes until the sausage is cooked through; remember to drain the excess grease before proceeding.
  • Add all ingredients except clams, linguine, and cheese to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer partially covered for 10 minutes. While simmering, cook the linguine according to package instructions, then drain and keep warm.
  • Combine clams with the sausage mixture, cover, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes until clams open. Remove any unopened clams, then serve the flavorful clam sauce over linguine and top with cheese.
