Pasta with Butter and Clam Sauce
Ingredients
Ingredients:
2 packages of Pasta, Any Kind, I like to use Linguini Style, but my kids love it with Spiral Noodles
1 Can of Clam Sauce (14oz)
1 Bar (8tbsp) of Non Sweetened Butter
2 Whole “Beef-Steak” Tomatoes – Firm
2 pieces Fresh Garlic
½ Onion Red or White
Salt
Olive Oil

Directions
Cookware:
1 Medium Skillet
1 Large Cook Pot for Pasta
Fine Mesh Strainer for Sauce Component
Large Colander for Pasta
Prep:
Finely chop the Garlic, Onion and Tomatoes
Chop up the Meat Chosen, remember mine is Pre-Cooked Sausage
Render the Butter down to Liquid
Using Fine Strainer, Strain the Clam Sauce, separating the Clams from the Sauce
Fill Large Cook Pot with Water to 2/3 way (more if pot is deeper than it is wide)
Bring Water to medium boil then ad Pasta with 1 table spoon salt and 2 table spoons Olive Oil to keep pasta from sticking.
While pasta is cooking in the Medium skillet put in the following:
The Sausage (or meat chosen)
Chopped Onion and Garlic
¼ the amount of rendered Butter
Simmer this mix to when Onions are slightly brown than add Clams, after 5 min turn off.
Serving:
When Pasta is done to your desired firmness, Using Colander, strain pasta of all water, place back in pot
Using Pasta Forks or 2 Large Spoons, mix into pasta remaining Butter and Clam Sauce (Liquid Portion)
Mix Pasta until thoroughly coated with Sauce.
Plate Pasta and then top with the Meat, Tomato, Onion and Clam Sauce in Skillet.
Bring to Table and Serve, This recipe feeds my wife and myself and all 5 of my children and with enough for seconds, I serve it with French bread, or Garlic Bread, but frankly the sauce has enough Garlic for most people.
Enjoy.
