Linguine With White Clam Sauce

"The original author of this recipe altered it to reduce the fat and calories. I have had it for a while, but have not tried it yet. It does sound good, though. It yields four servings with one cup pasta and about 1/2 cup sauce for each."

  1. I made this for my roommate and he likes it very much. He just wanted more garlic. Since I do not eat clams I can only base it on his word.
     
  2. Great dish! This is packed with a lot of flavor, and it makes a generous amount of very yummy sauce! Very quick and easy to make too. Thanks for sharing! PAC Fall '12

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Canada's capital (Ottawa, Ontario) and love it, although years ago I lived on the West Coast (Vancouver, B.C.) and loved it, too. I am retired and really enjoy cooking, so reading recipes is almost a passion. Every time I bring out a new recipe I hear "Oh, not again!" from my hubby, but I notice he enjoys almost everything I try. We have a rating system for new recipes, and he always lets me know his opinion. Pet peeves include people who are afraid to try new foods and people who are habitually late. Favorite cook books are 5-Roses and the three new ones by our Canadian Podleski sisters - Crazy Plates, Looney Spoons and their latest, Eat, Shrink and be Merry. They are delightful and really informative. I am really glad that I found Recipezaar!! I spend a lot of time reading about other members, browsing their recipes and reading their comments about the recipes they have tried. A lot of good ideas have come my way, and I am sure there will be more. Thanks to all of you out there who have made my days much more pleasurable.
