I love how he explains how the two main ingredients take centre stage in Pasta Dishes and how all other ingredients serve to enhance. That's what I like most about Italian pasta; beauty through simplicity.

This is one of my all-time favorite dishes. One very important thing for those of you who've never made clams (And about which he does not mention) is the fact that if you overcook clams, they turn into rubber bands. I never make it the way he makes it here- in terms of the clams. I steam the clams and remove them immediately when they open. I cook the pasta in the clam juices the last 20% of the cooking time. Then, I add them all together again at the end. If you remove the clams, one by one, as they open, you will have delicious clams with the perfect texture.

bhlynd, I endorse your method. Reared near the Massachusetts sea shore, I've loved clams all my life. But I hate the sand that gets into the chowder or whatever when clams are left in the shells. Far better to steam them separately, remove from the shells, and put in a bowl until added to the dish. Any leftover sand will stay with the shells or at the bottom of the bowl. And your guests don't have to figure out what do to with the empty shells.

And I will say I have made this exact dish many times, DO NOT over cook the clams. As a cook, you would pull them out early if you realized it's too much. THAT is what cooking is about. Not blindly following a recipe.

That's the right way to prepare spaghetti with clams... Here in Italy we don't use chili cause Is to strong and risk to smoth the gentle taste of the clams. You deserve compliments for the final Cook in the Sea fruits and some cockwater

2:44 bottom right. It was absolutely vital for someone to hide the branding of that cooker whilst the recording was underway. I for one am happy that they did so otherwise I may have been forced into yet another impulse buy. Thank you for saving us all.

I know, right? Even worse, they covered the model name but not the brand name: "ECOLAB." (And that's not a cooker, it's a dishwasher.)

Quick and easy to make and sounds delicious.

Everyone in Italy has a version of this dish and the way they make it. Like water into the broth, pasta goes in first and then the clams and cover with a lid etc…just don’t call me late for dinner! 😆

linguine with clams is my favorite plate of all time

I love to watch Mario cook. His history lessons are so fasinating. But I like my pasta past the al dente stage. Soft pasta is more luxurious in the mouth than aldente. And it tastes better I think. So good!😋

Gotta say, Mario Batali has really progressed as a personality outside of his cooking. His recent work shows his many different sides with all sorts of different people. He's definitely at the peak of his celebrity, being a master chef, and an entertaining, delightful celebrity.

Haha this definitely didn't age well!

Haha..I like your presentation and your use of words. Very unique and very bold. Perhaps sad but true in a way or 2. Good explanation on not cooking the pasta fully so it will still absorb the sauce from the pan. I learn that from another youtube video that I have watched. It works great.

Is not al dente but raw. One big mistake is to put wine after tomatoes. You should make the wine evaporate and later put some tomato. Last but not least put the parsley when the flame is off.

Hey mate, made it just like you told me and came out perfect. I was always putting too much tomato in

this look really good. I did this tonight without the tomato sauce, but next time I will put that in. From 3:25 onward, you explain it really well, most youtube video never goes into that, which is crucial in making linguine in general. thanks.

Amazing, 6 minutes for a pasta recipe: 1) boil the pasta. 2) Put clams in a pan. 3) Combine everything. Revolutionary!

That's what I learned from my Italian friend. More salt in the water where you boil the pasta and better taste overall because blends better with the sauce (rather than having seasoned sauce and bland noodles.)

He's so right about al dente. Nothing worse than people who over cook the pasta. Many people have no idea what the term actually means.
