Pioneer Woman's Linguini with Clam Sauce
2 – 10 oz cans of clams, drained, juice reserved
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
¾ c. white wine (optional- if you do not want to add it you can use white wine vinegar or non alcoholic white wine)
¾ c. heavy cream
Juice of ½ lemon
1 box of Linguini noodles
Salt and pepper to taste
- Cook pasta according to package directions (I use whole wheat pasta)
- Melt 1 tbsp of the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat
- Add the clams and garlic, cook about 3 minutes
- Add the wine (or your substitute) and stir. Let cook for 3-4 minutes, until it has reduced
- Lower heat. Add lemon juice and the remaining butter, stir through and cook a few more minutes
- Add cream, parsley, salt and pepper (**note: you don’t need too much salt because the clams are fairly salty**). Cook until heated through
- Pour the sauce over the bed of hot noodles toss, top with cheese, and serve with a lemon slice.
