LINGUINE WITH LIGHT CLAM SAUCE
This is, by far, one of the best "light" recipes I have come across in all the years I have been cooking....I found this way back in the "80's and am still using this favorite. This extremely versatile recipe is on my "go to list" when I need something fast, easy and tasty! I make sure that I am always stocked with clams in the cupboard and cream cheese in my fridge/freezer. This recipe is also handy for cleaning out all those little "its and bits" of vegetables. Don't use too much mushrooms or it will give a "grey" appearance to the dish

[email protected]I was so excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The sauce was bland and the clams were overcooked. I followed the recipe exactly, but I think I may have used too much water. I will try it again with less water and see if

[email protected]This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. The sauce is light and flavorful, and the clams are cooked perfectly. I usually add a little bit of white wine to the sauce, but it's also great without it. I highly recom

[email protected]This is one of the best and easiest clam sauces I've tried! I used linguine, but I think it would be great with any type of pasta. The sauce is light and flavorful, and the clams are cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
