Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb. box linguine
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 c butter, cubed
2 Tbsp avocado or other oil
1 rounded tsp. garlic powder (or to taste)
3 Tbsp flour
1 14.5 oz. can chicken broth
1 c claim juice
1/2 c heavy cream
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
2/3 c parmesan cheese
2 or 3 6.5 oz. cans minced clams (depending on how much you like clams)

Steps:

1. Heat oil and butter in a skillet. Saute onions and clams, adding the garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Cook onions until tender.
2. Add the flour and mix well, heating the flour for about 30 seconds to get rid of its taste. Pour in chicken broth, clam juice, and cream. Bring to a simmer and add Parmesan cheese. Simmer and stir until cheese is melted.
3. Served over cooked pasta. (Make sure to salt the cooking water for the pasta well.)
