Categories     pastas, appetizer, main course

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
1/2 cup dry white wine
12 large clams in the shell
1 1/2 pounds ripe field tomatoes, or 2 cups canned no-salt-added tomatoes
1/2 cup fish stock or bottled clam juice
8 ounces fresh linguine, eggless if possible
5 fresh large basil leaves

Steps:

  • Slice the garlic and chop the fresh thyme. Combine with wine in a pot large enough for all ingredients.
  • Scrub clams and add to pot. Bring to a boil and cook until the clam shells open. As they open, remove them from the pot and set aside. Continue cooking broth until it is reduced by half.
  • Bring water to a boil for the linguine in a covered pot.
  • Wash and trim the tomatoes, and cut in half. Squeeze out the seeds. Chop tomatoes in a food processor or with a knife. When the broth has been reduced, add the fish stock or clam juice and chopped tomatoes, and cook over high heat, continuing to reduce the liquid slightly.
  • Cook the linguine according to package directions.
  • Remove the clams from their shells, and pour any reserved liquid from them into the pot.
  • Wash and dry basil, and cut into thin strips.
  • Drain the pasta, and add to the sauce with the clams; stir to blend, and serve topped with basil.

SPINACH ALFREDO SAUCE (BETTER THAN OLIVE GARDEN®)



Spinach Alfredo Sauce (Better than Olive Garden®) image

Better than Olive Garden®! Top with grilled chicken on fettuccine pasta for a complete meal or use as a dip for bread sticks. Delicious rich and creamy spinach Alfredo everyone will love. When I make this dish, everyone raves over it! Add more spinach if you're a spinach lover or leave it out if you're not a fan. I like adding lots of garlic! For a thicker sauce, add more cream cheese.
