White Clam Sauce

 



I can remember the Sunday afternoon when Momma Videccia introduced me to my first dish of Linguine with clam sauce and a slice of warm garlic bread, I was in love immediately with this sauce. She taught me how to make that day and I’ve made it many times over the years. It’s that good.

Ingredients

12 ounces uncooked linguine

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 can (2 ounces) anchovies, undrained

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 bottle (8 ounces) clam juice

1 can (6-1/2 ounces) minced clams, undrained

1/3 cup of water

2 tablespoons dried oregano

1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

5 tablespoons shredded Parmesan/Romano cheese

Optional: Chopped fresh parsley and fresh oregano leaves

Directions

Cook pasta according to package directions. In a saucepan, sauté garlic and anchovies in oil for 3 minutes, breaking up anchovies. Stir in the clam juice, clams, water, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes or until sauce is reduced by half. Drain pasta; toss with clam sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan; if desired, top with parsley and oregano.
