**Whole Wheat Linguine With White Clam Sauce**
WOW, it has been quite awhile. I have figured out that I would rather post recipes that I have tried and love, then to describe every step of the cooking process. I find myself skipping over all the writing and getting right to the recipes of cooking blogs that I visit. I also look through comments and suggestions that others have posted and put together a better recipe. SO.... from now on I will be posting a picture of a recipe's results and my rendition of the recipe! To start out, I have chosen "Whole Wheat Linguine With White Clam Sauce"! I have been wanting to make this for some time so while my best friend was visiting I gave it a whirl! I am so glad I did because I can not stop thinking about how yummy it was! Here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
(4 servings)
3 tablespoons butter (I use Organic Earth Balance)
3 Tbsp organic extra virgin olive oil
1 Small
diced onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp basil
1 Tbsp
Old Bay Seasoning (don't omit this)
3 cans
minced/chopped clams, including the juice
1 tsp parsley
1 lb Organic Whole Wheat Linguine
Parmesan Cheese (to garnish pasta)
Directions
- In a 5 qt pot, heat water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente.
- While the pasta is cooking, melt butter and olive oil in pan.
- Saute onion and garlic, until onions are translucent (don't let your garlic burn).
- Add lemon juice, oregano, basil, and Old Bay seasoning, stir for one minute.
- Add clams and the juice.
- Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Drain pasta and place in the pan with the sauce.
- Cover pasta with clam sauce, stir well and let the pasta soak up the sauce
- Top with parsley and Parmesan cheese.
- Serve with warm crusty whole wheat/whole grain bread and chilled white wine.
This meal takes about 25 minutes to create from start to finish!
