Authentic tasting white clam sauce. Easy to prepare, yet delicious enough for company. I prefer to use White zinfandel wine, but any white wine will work fine.
Ingredients:
1 lb linguine, cooked al dente according to package directions
3 (6 1/2 ounce) cans minced clams with juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium onions, diced
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried italian seasoning
1/4 cup fresh parsley, fresh, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup white wine
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Directions:
1. Cook linguine to al dente, according to package directions.
2. While linguine is cooking, in large skillet, add olive oil and diced onions, cook on med heat until translucent (about 5 min.).
3. Add garlic, basil, Italian seasoning, parsley, and salt and pepper. cook for another 3-5 minutes.
4. Open cans of clams, drain, reserving liquid. Set clams aside.
5. Add clam juice and wine to skillet. Bring to boil, and cook for 3-5 minutes, allowing liquid to cook down a bit. Add clams back in until heated.
