Title: Red Clam Sauce for Pasta
Categories: Pasta, Sauces and
Yield: 1 Servings

2 tb Margerine
1 c Chopped onion
2 ts Garlic powder
1 Bay leaf
1/4 ts Basil
1/2 ts Italian Seasoning
1 ts Salt
1/4 ts Pepper
1 Packed tb -- brown
Sugar
28 oz Tomato puree
6 oz Tomato paste
1/4 c Dry white wine
16 oz Canned clams -- or more
1/4 c Dried parsley

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.
