**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

1. In a 5 qt pot, heat water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente.
2. While the pasta is cooking, melt butter and olive oil in pan.
3. Saute onion and garlic, until onions are translucent (don't let your garlic burn).
4. Add lemon juice, oregano, basil, and Old Bay seasoning, stir for one minute.
5. Add clams and the juice.
6. Simmer for 5 minutes.
7. Drain pasta and place in the pan with the sauce.
8. Cover pasta with clam sauce, stir well and let the pasta soak up the sauce
9. Top with parsley and Parmesan cheese.
10.  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!
