Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups chicken stock
3 cups water
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1 pound (3 1/4 cups) fregola pasta
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup dry Marsala wine or dry sherry
1 cup (about 6 ounces) grape or cherry tomatoes
12 little neck clams, cleaned
12 mussels, cleaned
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • In a large pot, combine the chicken stock, water, and 1 tablespoon salt, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • While the pasta is cooking: Heat 1/4 cup of the oil, over medium-high heat, in a large Dutch oven. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Add the Marsala wine and grape tomatoes, and cook for 1 minute, scraping the brown bits that cling to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the clams and mussels to the pan. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook until all the shellfish have opened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Discard any unopened shellfish.
  • Using tongs, remove the shellfish from the pan and reserve. Drain the pasta and transfer to a large serving bowl. Pour the shellfish cooking liquid over the fregola. Add the remaining olive oil and 1/4 cup of the parsley and toss. Place the reserved shellfish on top of the fregola and garnish with the remaining parsley.

TOASTED PASTA "FREGOLA" WITH CLAMS



Toasted Pasta

On a trip to Sicily I bought a package of this stuff called Sa Fregola Sarda, and its basically small couscous-sized pasta that's been toasted. I had no idea how to cook it, but there was one recipe printed on the back of the package so I'm copying here in case anyone is looking for it. You could probably use couscous instead.

  • Warm the oil in a medium-large pan over a medium-low heat and add the garlic. Cook a minute to soften but take care not to let it burn.
  • Add the clams into the tomatoes, cover the pan and allow the clams to steam. As the clams open, remove to a bowl and cover to keep warm, if possible. If any don't open after a reasonable time cooking (ie same as rest) then discard as they may not be good to eat.

  • Rinse and scrub the clams. Discard any clams with broken shells. Purge the clams of sand by covering the clams in a large bowl with salt water. (You want the taste of the water to be similar to seawater.) Allow the clams to purge for about an hour. Drain the clams, being careful not to pour the grit back over the clams.
  • In a large heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add in the clams. Cover tightly and shake the pan until the clams start to open. As they open, remove the clams to a bowl. Discard any clams that have not opened. Turn off the heat. Strain the liquid produced from the clams – use either cheesecloth to strain or very carefully pour off the liquid leaving the sand behind. Add the saffron to the liquid and allow to bloom while you prepare the rest of the dish. Set the clams and the liquid aside.
  • Heat the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in the same large heavy pot. Add the minced garlic and cook over moderately high heat for approximately 30 seconds. Add the white wine and simmer for few minutes. Add in the diced tomatoes and a pinch of hot pepper flakes. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook until the tomatoes soften (abut 10 minutes). Add in the reserved clam juice and parsley and simmer for approximately 5 minutes. Taste the broth and adjust seasonings. (As clams are usually very salty, I find I typically only need to add pepper.)
  • Add in the stock and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil and add in the fregola. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the fregola is tender to the bite (about 15 minutes). If the mixture becomes too thick, add more water to thin.
