This is my moms recipe. I LOVED when she made it when I was a kid, so now I make it for myself often. The foundation for the sauce is the butter and the olive oil. I am a garlic lover, so I use 2X the garlic, but I thought I would post the original recipe without my little changes!! I do prefer mine made with the optional ingredients, but that's definitely based on preference!
Ingredients:
1 (10 ounce) can baby clams
1 medium onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 ounces linguine, cooked
1/4 teaspoon dried basil (optional)
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
Directions:
1. Drain clams, reserving liquid.
2. In sauce pan, saute onion and garlic in oil and butter over med-low heat for about 1-2 minutes.
3. Turn heat up slightly, stir in clam liquid and bring to a boil - about 3 minutes.
4. Stir in clams, parsley, pepper, and any optional ingredients. Heat through.
5. Serve over linguine.
