Linguini With Clams - Mom's Recipe

This is one of my favorite home cooked meals from my mom.

Something that I crave when I want comfort food

or just to feel like I'm back at home.

It's also super easy and makes a great weeknight dinner.

And depending on how big your family is,

you'll probably have some leftovers for lunch the next day.  Bonus!

Linguine With White Clam Sauce

1 lb linguini

1 onion, chopped

2 Tablespoons butter

2 Tablespoons olive oil

fresh chopped parsley

2 cans minced clams with the juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

thyme

oregano

salt & pepper

 Cook the linguini in a large pot of salted water.

 Meanwhile, melt the butter and olive oil together over medium heat.

Saute the onion.  Add the garlic and cook for 5 minutes.

Add thyme and oregano (I used about 1 teaspoon each) and cook another 5 minutes.

Add clam juice and heat a couple minutes.

Add clams and heat, but not to boiling.

Pour sauce over cooked linguini.  Sprinkle with parsley.

Enjoy!
