Easy Linguine with Clam Sauce
Recipe
- 2 cups clams, cleaned and chopped, reserve juice
- clam juice plus enough water to make 1 ½ cups of liquid
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 cloves pressed garlic
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- 8 ounces linguine
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Arrange cooking of linguine and sauce so that both are done at the same time.
In a medium saucepan, heat the oil and sauté garlic and red pepper until brown. Season with parsley and oregano. Add clams and liquid. Bring to a boiling point and simmer about 5 minutes, or until clams are tender. Serve over pasta. Sprinkle lightly with cheese.
