Linguine with White Clam Sauce
Comforting, tasty and easy.  Perfect dinner for a chilly night because it’s a cross between a soup and a solid meal.
One
thing I’ve discovered about the clam sauce is, it is better when it
sits or is made ahead and reheated.  That way, all the wonderful flavors
combine and nothing overpowers.  In the past, I’d made this and served
it immediately.  Bad mistake, because all I would taste was the olive
oil (and there’s quite a bit in this).  My best advice is to make it a
day ahead then reheat.  If you can’t do that, then make it, cover it and
put it on a VERY low simmer (or use a simmer pad) for about 40 minutes.
Feel
free to add or subtract things like the oregano, red pepper flakes and
garlic.  You can add a splash of dry white wine too, instead of the
additional clam juice.

    May I suggest this adaptation? Sauté the onions and garlic in 2 tbs olive oil. When soft but not brown, add the clam liquor and broth, and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. Add remaining ingredients, cook till heated through. Add 1-2 tbs butter to pan and stir just until its incorporated into the sauce.

    This way you're cutting the fat in half, intensifying the flavor by reducing the clam juice and thickening the sauce with the final addition of butter. I've made clam linguini this way for 35 years to rave reviews.

    Sounds wonderful Meg! Love the butter addition too.

    I've made it with onion in the past, but some company I have often say onions don't "agree" with them, so for the most part, I leave them out.
