Chef Mario Batali Shows How to Make Linguine with Clams | Epicurious 

I love how he explains how the two main ingredients take centre stage in Pasta Dishes and how all other ingredients serve to enhance. That's what I like most about Italian pasta; beauty through simplicity.

Is not al dente but raw. One big mistake is to put wine after tomatoes. You should make the wine evaporate and later put some tomato. Last but not least put the parsley when the flame is off.

This is one of my all-time favorite dishes. One very important thing for those of you who've never made clams (And about which he does not mention) is the fact that if you overcook clams, they turn into rubber bands. I never make it the way he makes it here- in terms of the clams. I steam the clams and remove them immediately when they open. I cook the pasta in the clam juices the last 20% of the cooking time. Then, I add them all together again at the end. If you remove the clams, one by one, as they open, you will have delicious clams with the perfect texture.

Not just a beautiful dish but beautifully imparted with the sage wisdom of a true master. Bravissimo!

2:44 bottom right. It was absolutely vital for someone to hide the branding of that cooker whilst the recording was underway. I for one am happy that they did so otherwise I may have been forced into yet another impulse buy. Thank you for saving us all.

The Maestro of Italian cooking, Chef Batali, You Rock !

every time I get drunk I watch these things

Down to earth, easy to follow recipe!

I love to watch Mario cook. His history lessons are so fasinating. But I like my pasta past the al dente stage. Soft pasta is more luxurious in the mouth than aldente. And it tastes better I think. So good!😋

Amazing, 6 minutes for a pasta recipe: 1) boil the pasta. 2) Put clams in a pan. 3) Combine everything. Revolutionary!

I made this several times--simple and delicious. The noodles absorb all the flavor.

Everyone in Italy has a version of this dish and the way they make it. Like water into the broth, pasta goes in first and then the clams and cover with a lid etc…just don’t call me late for dinner! 😆

linguine with clams is my favorite plate of all time

I can See, Hear, and Feel this guy

Very instructional.

Husband and I made this last night and it was DELICIOUS

Gotta say, Mario Batali has really progressed as a personality outside of his cooking. His recent work shows his many different sides with all sorts of different people. He's definitely at the peak of his celebrity, being a master chef, and an entertaining, delightful celebrity.

Love this guy. This is such a great recipe

I like his recipes. They are short and good. Thumbs up, Mario.

"... just a little bit of olive oil...", proceed to empty half a bottle into the pan.

Nice Mario

This is going to be Christmas Eve dinner!!

Mario - you are the best!

Batali e' un cuoco in gamba. Uno dei migliori,specialmente in kitchen Arena. Bravo Mario.

This guy knows his stuff better than some more well know chefs

Bravo Mario!

Oh Mario! I love your classy way of cooking Italian, why did you have to disappoint us :(

He put his little imprimatur on more than just dishes.

Just cooked this tonight. Best pasta I've ever had. The after taste is amazing,I served six people and all said they loved it. Be careful with the red pepper. I probably wouldn't add the additional amounts at the end. Do it. It's worth it.

Everyone needs to see the episode of Three's Company where Jack makes this dish 🤣

Hes the best chef!!!!

He looks like the comic book dude on the Simpson's

My all time favorite dish. Italian and French farming kitchens were surprisingly small, Maybe one table or counter for pasta making and the rest was chopped at the hob

Wow. Really hard to imagine a better way to execute this classic recipe.

I do not ever trust a skinny chef. This man has my life in his hands. 😍

I don't care what Mario did or does in his off hours, he can cook and talk at the same time and he does both well.

Bello, non per niente male per un Americano !

Talented chef n smart

Best of the best chief right here cheers 🍻

The best

I love the Dante reference! 😂 Great job!

My favorite Iron chef!

Mario is my spirit cook I don't care how many broads he nailed .

Awesome! Thanks!

He had that pasta cooking like 4 minutes

When he said his name, I honestly heard “Laura Vitale” 😂

look so easy and fresh

Bravo Mario

Just WOW!!

Predetorialy great!

Quick and easy to make and sounds delicious.

Brilliant.

thank you Chef

This guy knows what he’s doing

Excellent!

He's so right about al dente. Nothing worse than people who over cook the pasta. Many people have no idea what the term actually means.

this look really good. I did this tonight without the tomato sauce, but next time I will put that in. From 3:25 onward, you explain it really well, most youtube video never goes into that, which is crucial in making linguine in general. thanks.

Wow he said New Zealand 🇳🇿 he’s using New Zealand cockles I feel so proud to be a kiwi 😇😇😇😇

Grate job doing this video

What a great narrator.

Bravo! Thank you Mario! You are wonderful.

Looks delicious

That looks soooo good

Hey mate, made it just like you told me and came out perfect. I was always putting too much tomato in

Pasta is the easiest thing to cook but the hardest thing to master

Good job Mario!

Awesome video thanks

"Al dante means something too soft and not delicious, because Dante has been dead for 500 years." LOL

Mmmm it looks yummy

Isn't that the guy from worth it pizza episode ? His ideology about pizza is excellent

Oh, heavens! And here I am, in the hospital, waiting for my dinner and I know its not even going to come close. I know what I am going to have as soon as I leave this place : Spaghetti a la vongole ! Mamma mia !!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful!

Brilliant!

looks yummy!

Mario not only shows us the recipe, but also explains the "why" of each ingredient. The mark of a great chef!

Btw, mario batali is such an underrated chef. He deserves all those praising that jamie oliver and gordon ramsay deserve.

The tomatoes seem like a perfect addition

I remember this guy from Worth It. He runs Rosso Pomodoro in New York.

Smart guy!

Chef Mario, you're... excellent! I love the way you proceed, the fluency in your demonstration; everything's just perfect. Bra-vo! I wish all chefs doing their show on-line could have your talent.

Yup

Am I the only one who thinks this looks so delicious!!!! Can't stand the cook BUT LOVE this dish!!! Ahhh, I will never eat it.....not like I have that brand of tomatoes sitting around nor the clams!!! I did eat a ton of Chef Boy Ardee hahah so I had "pasta" in a way!! I found my way here from the video "Life Goes On High Hopes" they mentioned bearnaise sauce so I looked that up, then I clicked on this video. Nice wormhole!!

That's what I learned from my Italian friend. More salt in the water where you boil the pasta and better taste overall because blends better with the sauce (rather than having seasoned sauce and bland noodles.)

Wow, this video is from 2008. Didn't realise Epicurious has been around that long

"there's a little bit of extra virgin olive oil at the end" *says this after pouring half a cup in at the beginning*

My favorite pasta dish but without the tomatoes ❤️

is about time go in Italy and learn to cook

This is a remarkably easy recipes. Definitely "undercook" the pasta.

bro whipped that up faster than i can make cereal.

sucha proud italian lol :] love ur vids

great chef, great dish, great upload.

Just beautiful Chef Batali, thank you.

Wow this channel has been around for real long

Those were the good old days weren't they Mario?

He’s soooo funny lol

super Mario! best Italian chef around, his moral standards not so much though.. genio e sregolatezza come quasi tutti gli Italiani.

you're the best

Mario has had his share of personal problems but his dishes always look good and his directions are concise. Also, I agree that he never seems too enthusiastic.

Been too long since this was released but a lot are commenting just a month ago omg

ogni volta che si visualizza questo video, in Italia una nonna muore! " Every time you view this video, in Italy a grandmother dies!"
