Most white clam sauces have butter in them, but a healthier (and just as tasty!) option is to simply use a little bit of olive oil and the clam juice in the can. You'll love this recipe just as much as those butter laden ones, or at least I do. Clams are high in iron too!

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans minced clams
2 tablespoons parsley
2 -3 garlic cloves, pressed
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Saute the onion in olive oil for about 5 minutes.
  • Add in the garlic. If you don't have a garlic press, chop it finely. I love garlic and usually use 3 cloves, but you may only want two.
  • Add in remaining ingredients and simmer 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve over linguine or your favorite pasta.
