Mario Batali'S Linguine With Manila Clams, Pancetta, And Hot Chiles Recipe

• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 medium red onion, minced
• 1/4 pound pancetta, cut into 1/8-inch dice
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
• 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon crushed red chiles
• 2 pounds manila clams, scrubbed and rinsed
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 pound linguine
• 1 bunch Italian parsley, finely chopped to yield 1/4 cup

1. Bring 6 quarts water to boil; add 2 tablespoons salt.
2. In a large saute pan, heat oil until just smoking; saute red onion, pancetta, and garlic over medium heat until onion is very soft and pancetta is translucent (about 10 minutes).
3. Add hot chiles, clams, white wine, and butter; bring to a boil. Cook until all clams have opened, then set aside.
4. Boil linguine according to package instructions. When just short of al dente, drain in colander over sink; toss into pan with clams, and stir gently to mix. This should still be a little brothlike.
5. Add chopped parsley, pour into warm serving bowl.
