Some may call this cheating because it's all canned goods… I do not, simply because it is THE best clam sauce ever. Try it and be amazed. I make this every Christmas Eve as the first course of The Seven Fishes for my very Sicilian & Calabrese relatives, and they absolutely love it. This will serve four normal adults as a standalone meal, especially if you add a tossed salad. If you have more than four, just double or triple…. Believe me, there usually are no leftovers, but if there are……. Breakfast is mere hours away…..
Diabetic friends... yes, you can have regular pasta with its glycemic index barely in the low range at 50-52, but please watch your portion control. Have maybe a cup of this pasta and a lot of the tossed salad with a healthy dressing that should accompany every meal, or swap out the semolina with Banza brand chickpea pasta. Enjoy! :-)
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Italian Linguine
- 1 can Tuttorosso whole plum tomatoes
- 1 15 oz can Progresso white clam sauce
- 2 cans chopped clams (drained)
- 1 can tomato paste
Preparation:
Cook the linguine according to package directions in salted
water. Salted water, in my Italian trained circle anyway, is taking the salt
container and pouring 3-4 moderately quick circles over the pot of boiling water.
Put the can of tomatoes through the blender and put in sauce pan. Add clam sauce, extra clams and tomato paste. Bring to a simmer with an occasional stir. Done.
Sorry, but yes, it is THAT easy. J
Blessed be… and happy cooking!
