Linguine with Clam Sauce
Our linguine with clam sauce recipe is one of my mother's favorite pasta sauce recipes and she made it often. Clam sauce is so easy to make.
Ingredients
- 20 ounces clams, whole baby clams, canned
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, or salad oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 28 ounces canned tomatoes
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons parsley, minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper, optional - to your taste
- 1 pound linguine, uncooked
Instructions
- Drain clams and reserve the liquid in a small bowl. In a 3 quart saucepan, over medium heat, cook garlic in oil until it is lightly browned. Add the clam liquid, and remaining ingredients except the clams. Stir to mix well. Break up the tomatoes and heat the mixture to boiling. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes to blend flavors, stirring occasionally.
- While the sauce is cooking, cook 1 pound of linguine or other pasta, fresh or packaged.
- After the sauce has cooked for the 20 minutes, add the clams and heat though until the clams are heated.
