lea's pasta and clams
No Image
This is one of my favorite dishes.I sometimes use only can clams(use 4 cans or a large can of clams). I love the flavor of butter with the clams and garlic,feel free to add more butter,I do to make the mixture thicken. Sometimes I add fresh broccoli to the pasta while cooking 3-4 mins.and add to clam sauce. Be sure to discard any clams that do not open within 8 or 9 mins. I don't cook with wine very often but you can use wine to steam the clams if you like.
