Angel Hair Pasta With Broccoli and Clams image

This is nothing fancy, but it is quick, easy, and delicious, and with items usually on my cupboard shelf and in my freezer. This recipe is a great way to get dinner on the table - Pronto! The real bonus of this quick-prep meal: The pasta cooks right in the sauce...only one pan to clean (I love it!!!). This is definitely one of my favorite (and, least expensive) weeknight suppers.
