| This recipe is one I have developed in an effort to duplicate the clam sauce served at Fresh Choice restaurants. It's still not exactly like theirs, but I like it a lot anyways. We've expanded the recipe and had it at family gatherings, and it seems to go over quite well. It's fast and easy, too. LINGUINE WITH CLAM SAUCE (Serves 2) 1/4 lb. linguine 5 garlic cloves, minced or pressed 2 Tablespoon olive oil 1/4 lb. mushrooms, sliced 1/3 c. chopped fresh parsley salt & pepper to taste one 6.5-oz. can minced clams 1/4 cup chicken broth (thicken with about 1 Tablespoon flour and a couple Tablespoons water) About 1 capful of dry sherry (or use whatever cooking wine you have) 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice Parmesan cheese, grated 1. Cook linguine, per package instructions. 2. Heat up oil in pan. Add garlic and mushrooms. Saute til mushrooms are cooked. 3. Reduce heat. Add parsley, pepper, salt, clams, chicken broth, sherry. 4. When heated through, thicken juice with flour mixed with water. Stir in lemon juice. 5. Ladle clam sauce over linguine. Top with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately. Eat alone and you can even lick the plate when you're done! |
