WHITE CLAM SAUCE

my favorite brand

This is a good quick meal.  I like to serve it with a side of cooked greens, like the kale and broccoli shown below.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup olive oil

3 (6.5) can clams  (I use 2 minced and 1 chopped)  DRAIN and RESERVE all the liquid

1 (8 oz) bottle clam juice

1 Tbsp. chopped parsley

1/4 tsp. basil leaves

pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

In medium saucepan, cook garlic in oil until tender.  Add the reserved clam liquid and remaining ingredients except clams.

Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.

Add clams; heat thoroughly.

Serve over hot cooked linguine with grated Parmesan cheese (or vegan substitute).

(choose a pasta with crevices, that will hold the clams and juice)
