Description
A very quick, simple clam sauce to serve with any light pasta. I always serve it with farfalle. This has been one of my family’s favorite pasta recipes for years, and I always serve it with buttery garlic bread.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 3 (10 ounce) cans chopped clams, drained with juices reserved
- 3 tablespoons dried oregano leaves, crumbled
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese for topping (Optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and drained clams; cook and stir for about 5 minutes. Season with oregano
- pepper
- and red pepper flakes. Pour in the reserved clam juice. Reduce heat to low
- and simmer for about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and serve over pasta. Garnish with Parmesan cheese
- if desired.
