Red clam sauce for pasta

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 tablespoons Margerine
1 cup Chopped onion
2 teaspoons Garlic powder
1 Bay leaf
¼ teaspoon Basil
½ teaspoon Italian Seasoning
1 teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Pepper
1 Packed tb -- brown
Sugar
28 ounces Tomato puree
6 ounces Tomato paste
¼ cup Dry white wine
16 ounces Canned clams -- or more
¼ cup Dried parsley

Directions

Brown onion in oil. Add everything else, including juice from clams, but reserve the clams. Simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour. Add the clams. Heat for about 5 minutes, or until clams are hot through. Serve over hot, cooked linguini.

Personal note: This is a thin sauce. If you want it thick, mix about 3 tb cornstarch with a little water, and add it to desired thickness. We liked it thin, however. The lots and lots of clams that were in this sauce (thanks to the other half) merely added to its goodness. We really liked this one. I had extra sauce that I've put in the freezer....we'll have to wait to see how that turns out.
