I had low hopes on this one, but it turned out to be really good! Definitely a keeper! And super low cost – (thanks for the idea emilie!)
INGREDIENTS
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup butter
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1-2 cans diced tomatos (or use fresh if in season)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 (6.5 ounce) can minced clams, with juice
- 1/2 pound linguine pasta
- 1/4 cup cream (if desired)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine olive oil, butter,
garlic, tomatoes and parsley; simmer and let reduce. Add some clam
juice if the sauce reduces too much.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook
for 3 minutes or until al dente; drain.
Add cream to sauce if using. Let thicken and simmer slightly. Add clams and juice to the skillet and heat through. Serve on top of pasta, sprinkle with cheese.
