The September Whole30 is basically over (if you started with the group, it ends tomorrow), but Bill and I have decided to continue eating as close to Whole30 as possible moving forward. I actually made this recipe in the middle of the September Whole30, but we forgot to post it!
When I was little, my mom often made Linguine with Clams for dinner. Linguine noodles with a garlicky, buttery sauce, and baby clams mixed in. It was a dish I always liked eating, and will probably always remind me of my mom.
For this Whole30 approved recipe, I used zucchini noodles. I can guarantee that this dish would be even more tasty with rice noodles, or Cappello’s Fettuccini. Zucchini noodles make it light, low carb, and free of potential gut irritants.
I used Tin Star Foods Ghee instead of butter, fresh garlic, and what makes this dish really stand out, is that I used our Amore Seasoning for this recipe. It was a great addition!
I finished the dish with a sprinkling of fresh chopped parsley which always adds fresh flavor to pasta dishes.
This recipe was a fun change of pace from our typical Whole3o staple meals.
Whole30 “Linguine” with Clams
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp 2 Tbsp 2 Tbsp Ghee
- 3 cloves 3 cloves 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tsp 2 tsp 2 tsp Primal Palate Amore
- 1/2 tsp 1/2 tsp 1/2 tsp Himalayan Pink Salt
- 13 oz 13 oz 13 oz Chopped Clams (Salted)
- 4 cups 4 cups 4 cups Zucchini, noodles
- 2 Tbsp 2 Tbsp 2 Tbsp Flat Leaf Parsley, chopped
Process
- Spiral slice your zucchini if you did not purchase already spiralized zucchini.
- Mince your garlic, and set aside.
- In a medium size saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the ghee over medium heat.
- Add the garlic, and saute for about a minute, and then turn the temperature down to medium low so that the garlic doesn't burn.
- Add the Amore to the pan, and the clams, and another tablespoon of ghee.
- Season with pink salt, and continue to cook, stirring often. Allow the clams and spices to cook for about 5 minutes, and then turn the heat down to low while you cook the zoodles.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, and add the zoodles to the pot. Allow to cook for about 5 minutes, or until the zoodles are tender, but not too soft.
- Drain the zoodles, and add them to the pan with the clams, and toss the clams and ghee mixture with the zoodles.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and enjoy.
Is there a brand of chopped clams that you recommend? I haven’t had any luck finding canned/jarred clams that I like. Thanks!
