A light, non-oily clam sauce best served with medium strands of pasta such as spaghetti or linguine. I've had this recipe for years but don't know where it originally came from.
Ingredients:
9 tablespoons olive oil
6 medium garlic cloves or 6 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 (10 1/4 ounce) cans baby clams, drained
6 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 1/4 cups bottled clam juice
2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons dried basil
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the garlic and saute until it just begins to turn golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Add the clams and parsley; saute for 1 minute more. Then add the remaining ingredients and gently boil for about 3 minutes before pouring over cooked pasta.
