Recipe(tried): Linguine with White Clam Sauce (using white wine)

LINGUINE WITH WHITE CLAM SAUCE

I got this recipe from my good friend Adrienne and since this is soooo goood, I try not to serve it more than once a month as my husband and I don't want to ever get sick of it! We didn't try it for about a year after she first gave it to us as we mentally thought.....yucckkkk! But once you try it you'll love it!

This will serve 3 to 4 depending on how hungry you are and if you do decide to reheat it in the microwave... be sure to add just a touch of olive oil to it and mix well.

1/2 lb. linguine, uncooked
1/3 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 shallots, chopped fine - I always use more than called for cause I really like the taste. (you can use leeks)
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 tsp. ground white pepper
1/2 tsp. oregano
2 cans chopped clams with juice

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.

Heat oil in saucepan over medium Heat. Add garlic and shallots; cook till soft (3 minutes).

Remove from heat; add wine, pepper and oregano. Cook over high heat till liquid is reduced by half.

Add clams and juice; reduce heat to medium and heat through.

Add pasta; cover tightly. Cook (do not boil) for 2-3 min so pasta begins to absorb some of the broth.

Boy is this gonna make your kitchen smell good!!!

Please let me know how you like it.
