WHITE CLAM SAUCE IN A CAN RECIPES

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy skillet over med/low heat.
• Add whole clams with juice, and garlic. Cook over low heat until clams are heated through and edges begin to curl.
• Remove clams. Add the bottle of clam juice, white wine and heavy cream. Cook about 10 min to reduce slightly. This sauce will be thin. You want a bit of broth in your dish.
• Remove garlic cloves
• Add clams back into sauce and toss with your preferred pasta. I usually use fettuccini
• Note: I often like to add a chopped tomato to this sauce. You would add the tomato after the 10 min cooking time, just to warm the chopped tomato.

Steps:

• Drain clams in a colander over a bowl, reserving liquid.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add tomato, parsley, and pepper; cook 1 minute. Add wine; cook 30 seconds. Add reserved clam liquid and pasta, tossing to coat; cook 3 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates, stirring frequently. Stir in clams and basil. Serve immediately.
