Linguine with Clam Sauce

This linguine with clam sauce is an easy, inexpensive meal. Try the clam sauce over any pasta; lemon-pepper linguine is especially tasty. You can stretch the sauce for larger portions by adding 1/2 cup of chicken broth.

Ingredients

  1. 1 (16 ounce) package linguini pasta
  2. 2 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams, with juice
  3. ½ cup vegetable oil
  4. ¼ cup butter
  5. 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  6. ¼ tablespoon dried basil
  7. ½ teaspoon minced garlic
  8. ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
  3. While the pasta is cooking, combine clams with juice, oil, butter, parsley, basil, garlic, and pepper in a large saucepan.
  4. Cook over medium heat until boiling.
  5. Serve warm clam sauce over pasta.
