This linguine with clam sauce is an easy, inexpensive meal. Try the clam sauce over any pasta; lemon-pepper linguine is especially tasty. You can stretch the sauce for larger portions by adding 1/2 cup of chicken broth.
PREPARATION TIME
Ingredients
1 (16 ounce) package linguini pasta
2 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams, with juice
½ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup butter
1 tablespoon dried parsley
¼ tablespoon dried basil
½ teaspoon minced garlic
ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
While the pasta is cooking, combine clams with juice, oil, butter, parsley, basil, garlic, and pepper in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat until boiling.
Serve warm clam sauce over pasta.
