Preparation facts

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 tsp olive oil

1 Tbs minced fresh garlic

2 lbs fresh clams, rinsed and scrubbed with a brush

1/4 cup white wine

1 1/2 Tbs fresh lemon juice

1 1/2 cups clam juice

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 tsp cornstarch

2 Tbs chopped fresh parsley

1 tsp olive oil

1 Tbs minced fresh garlic

2 lbs fresh clams, rinsed and scrubbed with a brush

1/4 cup white wine

1 1/2 Tbs fresh lemon juice

1 1/2 cups clam juice

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 tsp cornstarch

2 Tbs chopped fresh parsley

Directions

In a large sauté pan, combine olive oil and garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds over medium heat. Add clams and continue to sauté. Add white wine and cook until most of wine has evaporated. Add lemon juice, clam juice and black pepper. Simmer until clams open, about 5 minutes. Remove clams. (Discard any that do not open.)

In a small bowl or cup, combine cornstarch with 2 teaspoons water and mix to form a thin paste. Add to sauce and cook until thickened. Add fresh parsley.

Divide clams into 4 portions. Serve clams over 1 cup cooked pasta with 1/2 cup sauce.
