30 Minute Easy Clam Linguine
This is one of the first recipes I ever created….decades ago. I have tweaked it over the years to make it what it is today. It is a simple and quick meal and one that my family has always loved. This can be made in under 30 minutes because you make the clam sauce while the pasta cooks. I always double this recipe as it is wonderful the next day.
Ingredients
Cook the linguine according to the
package directions then drain. While
the pasta cooks make the sauce below.
Drain the clam juice, save and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt
the butter over medium low heat.
Add the garlic and the drained clams. Cook
for about 2 minutes or until you smell the garlic.
Stir in the soup.
Add the clam juice,
cream, cheese and parsley.
Stir until combined and creamy. Cook
just until hot but not boiling, stirring
frequently. Reduce heat to low and
continue to cook and stir for about
10 minutes or when the pasta is ready.
Serve over linguine.

This looks delicious 😍😍😍😍
Thank you!!!
Quick and easy, very nice! 😍
Thank you!
Love clam linguine but my sauce is much lighter just garlic, parsley, white wine and olive oil (no soup, cream, butter or parmesan) plus I use fresh clams. However, dishes which use store cupboard staples like these are great.
Yours is so much healthier! I’m a sucker for cream sauce…lol
I suspect most people would prefer your version!
Yum!
Thank you Gail!
That is simple and quick meal for a dinner with friends. Trank you👌
You’re very welcome!
Thank you 😊
Diane, do you have a clam chowder recipe that uses non-dairy?
No I don’t but I am planning on making a clam chowder copy cat recipe which calls for 1 & 1/2 cups of heavy cream. I personally would just add your favorite non dairy milk instead. It won’t be as thick but I bet it will still taste good.
Great idea! I could thicken it with a gluten free rue. Thanks, Diane!
Perfect! You’re welcome Terese.
And this dish looks delicious!
It is if you are a clam lover. Thank you Terese!
I’ve often made spaghetti with tinned clams, olive oil, garlic and parsley. I never though of using mushroom soup; what a great idea. I shall try that!
Thanks enjoy!
Nice recipe. This looks like it goes together quickly. Great for cold weeknight!
Thank you! It’s one that never fails me.
I will have to give this a try…looks super easy and delicious.
I rarely eat linguine, but I’m tempted to try some after reading your recipe. The list of ingredients is enticing.
Thank you Linda! I do make it with spaghetti noodles too.
I was hoping to find fresh clams😉. This seems easier to cook ☺️
Very easy! This can of clams was under $2.00 too. But even fresh clams would cook quick and definitely taste fantastic!
I see. Thank you.
Looks delicious!!
Thanks so much Bernice!

Thank you Beth and enjoy!
This sounds delicious, Diane! Thank you for another great recipe.
Thank you Kellye, one of my oldest recipes (and favorite). 🥰
My recipe is very similar but without the soup. I’ll try the soup next time!
I love a creamy sauce and it adds some extra flavor to the meal. I hope you enjoy it!
