LINGUINE WITH WHITE CLAM SAUCE

I use can clams and it's very tasty but you can use fresh clams if you wish.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 8 cloves garlic, minced
• 5 (7-1/2 ounce cans) chopped clams
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 pound linguine
• parmesan cheese

Directions:

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté. Add clams, clam liquids, wine, lemon juice, parsley, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer for about ten minutes. In a large pot of unsalted boiling water cook linguine according to package. Drain. If your skillet is big enough, mix linguine with the clam mixture. If not mix it in a large bowl. Put in a container and refrigerate overnight. When you are ready to serve just microwave until hot and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

I like to make it the day before so all the flavors can set in the linguine. Makes a great meal for those busy days!
