Method

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Clean clams under cold running water, discarding any with broken shells. Mince garlic.

2

Add linguine to boiling water and cook until al dente, about 9–11 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water. Drain linguine in a colander.

3

While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.

4

Pour in vegetable broth (or wine). Add clams, cover, and cook 5–8 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until clams open. Discard any that remain closed.

5

Add drained linguine to the clam skillet. Toss over medium heat for 1–2 minutes, adding 1/4 cup reserved pasta water to create a light sauce. Adjust consistency with more pasta water if needed.

6

Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice and zest. Season with salt and black pepper. Divide into bowls, top with parsley and grated Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately.
