This is nothing fancy, but it is quick, easy, and delicious, and with items usually on my cupboard shelf and in my freezer. This recipe is a great way to get dinner on the table - Pronto! The real bonus of this quick-prep meal: The pasta cooks right in the sauce...only one pan to clean (I love it!!!). This is definitely one of my favorite (and, least expensive) weeknight suppers. Ingredients:
2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans chopped clams with juice |
1 (8 ounce) bottle clam juice |
2 cups water |
2 teaspoons chopped garlic |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
4 cups small frozen broccoli florets, thawed (or, use fresh. about 1/2 pound) |
8 ounces angel hair pasta, broken in half |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Drain clams over a medium-size skillet; reserve clams. Add bottled clam juice, water, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes to skillet. Bring to boiling. Add broccoli; cook 3 to 4 minutes. Add pasta and olive oil; cook 3 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
2. Stir clams into skillet. Cover; let stand 5 minutes or until pasta is tender. Stir mixture. Serve. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
