LINGUINI with CLAM SAUCE

from Tammy Cochran
Recipe
Ingredients:
1 package linguini
3  6-1/2 oz cans minced clams with juice
olive oil
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 packets of Knorrs Newburg creamy seafood sauce mix
2 cups milk (2% or whole milk will work)
grated parmesan cheese
 
Directions:
1.  Start pasta water, with just a splash of olive oil. This is a quick dish, by the time the water is ready we'll be done with the sauce.

2.  Cover bottom of large skillet/sauce pan with olive oil and heat to a sizzle on medium heat. Add garlic, green onion, and parsley. Saute until the garlic is lightly brown.

3.  Meanwhile, in a bowl mix 2 cups milk with the Newburg sauce packets. Mix well. By this time, the garlic should be brown.

4.  Add canned clams to skillet.  DO NOT DRAIN. Heat to medium boil. Slowly stir in Newburg/milk mixture while whisking the entire time. Sauce will thicken.

5.  Then add oregano, Italian Seasoning, and lemon juice. Salt to taste. Stir continually, keeping sauce at a slow boil.

6.  Add pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions. Keep sauce at a low boil until ready to serve. This sauce should be thick like gravy. Feel free to add more milk if it gets too thick.

7.  Drain pasta, pour sauce over. Top with grated parmesan cheese and enjoy!
