Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 (10 ounce) can whole clams
• 2 garlic cloves, smashed (lay garlic clove on board and smash, remove skin, do not chop)
• 1 (8 ounce) bottle clam juice
• 1 cup wine
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 medium tomato, chopped (see note) (optional)

Recipe

• 1 melt butter in heavy skillet over med/low heat.
• 2 add whole clams with juice, and garlic. cook over low heat until clams are heated through and edges begin to curl.
• 3 remove clams. add the bottle of clam juice, wine and heavy cream. cook about 10 min to reduce slightly. this sauce will be thin. you want a bit of broth in your dish.
• 4 remove garlic cloves
• 5 add clams back into sauce and toss with your preferred pasta. i usually use fettuccini
• 6 note: i often like to add a chopped tomato to this sauce. you would add the tomato after the 10 min cooking time, just to warm the chopped tomato.
