LINGUINE with CLAMS in WINE SAUCE * 30 minute dinner * Pantry ingredients * EASY * - Cindy's ON-Line

Ingredients

• 3 cans (6.5 oz) whole baby or chopped clams, drained (reserve 1/2 cup of the juice)
• * NOTE: I like to mix 2 cans of chopped & 1 can whole clams because the chopped clams mix well throughout the pasta and the whole clams give it texture *
• 1/2 medium-large white onion, sliced
• 1 TB crushed garlic
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1 TB butter
• 1 TB extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
• About 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley (or 1-2 TB dried flakes)
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan or 3 Italian cheese
• 8 oz linguine (I like fresh best)
