Clam Sauce with Linguini

This is a crabtree family favorite. I have such fond memories of this dish and it's a classic go-to for my family. Its so good and even though it's canned clams (i really have no idea what an actual clam tastes like), I love it anyway. I am a cheese fiend so topping this with freshly grated parmesan (not pictured) is a must.


1 lb linguine
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 c olive oil
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
14 oz can chicken broth (organic)
1/4 c white wine
2 cans minced baby clams
grated parmesan cheese

In medium pan, cook onion and garlic in oil until onion is tender. Stir in parsley, oregano, basil, pepper, wine, chicken broth and reserved clam liquid. Cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add clams, cook until thoroughly heated. Serve sauce over cooked linguine in bowls. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
