I don't know which one of these are my favorites..But the clam dish is my tester for any new Italian Resturant I go to...Enjoy
Clams with White Wine/Garlic Sauce
1 can Minced or chopped Clams
1 bottle Clam Juice
1/2 cup White Wine
1 can Chicken Stock
Garlic to taste
Salt Pepper to Taste
Chopped Parsley (optional)
Linguine for amount served.
In a non stick fry pay, saute Garlic (I use 4 cloves) in a good Olive Oil. Add Clams, Clam Juice and salt, pepper. (sometimes I add a little red pepper flakes), Then the parsley.
Let simmer for approx 10 mins to meld the flavors. Then add partially cooked Pasta of your choice, and some of the Chicken stock, enough to allow the pasta to finish cooking. Serve Immed with a crisp Salad and Garlic Bread.
You can also top with Parmasean Cheese, but traditionally you do not put Cheese on Seafood dishes.
