I got this from our local paper and it is delicious. Make a green salad and some garlic bread and you are done. Ingredients:
1/2 lb sliced bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2 inch strips |
3 garlic cloves |
1/2 cup dry white wine |
1 (16 ounce) can crushed tomatoes |
1 cup bottled clam juice |
3/4 lb chopped clam, drained |
1/3 cup chopped flat leaf parsley |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes |
3/4 lb linguine |
Directions:
1. In large frying pan, cook the bacon over moderate heat until almost crisp.
2. Remove bacon with slotted spoon and pour off all but 2 tbs fat.
3. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
4. Add wine.
5. Stir in bacon, tomatoes and clam juice and heat to a simmer.
6. Cook for 10 minutes.
7. Add the clams, parsley, salt and red-pepper flakes and cook for one minute longer.
8. In the meantime, boil the linguine until just done, about 12 minutes.
9. Drain the linguine well and add to the sauce.
10. Allow the linguine to sit for 2 to 3 minutes to absorb some of the liquid.
