  • Servings 6

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

Steps

  • 1
    In 4-quart Dutch oven, cook sausage, onions, carrots and garlic over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until sausage is no longer pink; drain.
  • 2
    Stir in remaining ingredients except clams, linguine and cheese. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Partially cover and simmer 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook and drain linguine as directed on package; keep warm.
  • 3
    Add clams to sausage mixture. Cover and cook over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes or until clams open. Discard any unopened clams. Serve clam sauce over linguine. Serve with cheese.

  • Romano cheese, made from sheep’s milk, has a sharper flavor than Parmesan, which is made from cow’s milk. Both are terrific toppers for this dish, but Romano will give you a bit more flavor.
