Answers: I want to make linguini and clams,but I have no idea how to make clam sauce. Please help!!

I will give you my emergency 20 minute and inexpensive recipe first (canned clams).

I make a white sauce (actually clear).

Put your water on for boiling the pasta and salt it well

Take 1/4 cup olive oil and saute 2 cloves finely chopped garlic. When garlic is about to brown (after about 2 minutes of medium heat). Add all of the clam juice from the clams (Don't add the clams at this point). Cook under medium heat until the pasta is done. It should reduce by half its liquid. If it goes below half, add some water to bring the proportions back up.

Drain pasta when done

Immediately dump clams into clam/olive oil and cook for 1 minute under high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oregano

Add pasta to clam sauce and toss.

Add a drizzle of olive oil to give pasta a sheen before serving

white or red?

Just take a regular spaghetti sauce, home made, and add fresh, scrubbed clams. White clam sauce is: cook some garlic in olive oil, add a little clam juice and lemon juice, throw the scrubbed clams in, and then finish with fresh parsley. That's it!
