Linguine with Clam Sauce – A family favorite.

July 16, 2014 Leave a Comment

I thought I’d share a family favorite today: my mom’s recipe for linguine with clam sauce.  Oh.  My.  Yum.   This is a perfect dish for those times when you’d like a pasta dish but don’t necessarily feel like anything too heavy.

clam sauce recipe

Linguine with Clam Sauce

  • 4 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 to 6 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • a palmful of dried oregano
  • 6 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp black pepper (or more, to taste)
  • 1 tsp seasoned salt
  • 3 8oz packages sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 64oz can chopped clams
  • 1 small can of clam juice
  • fresh basil, chopped
  • Parmesan cheese

In a heavy stock pot brown onion and garlic in EVOO.  Rub oregano in between palms, crumbling into a powder as your drop it into the pot.  Add all remaining ingredients (except for basil and cheese) and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes to an hour. Remove bay leaves.  Add fresh basil.  Serve over linguine and top with Parmesan cheese.

I like to serve this with a nice, crusty bread and a dry white wine.  Yum! Mangia bene!  Enjoy!
