Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 slice thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch x 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup onion, finely chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped (any color)
1 carrot, scraped and diced
2 garlic cloves, minced (or use garlic press)
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups fat free chicken broth
2 (6 ounce) cans of chopped clams, juice reserved
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon garden fresh oregano leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, briefly blended
1 tablespoon tomato paste
6 ounces uncooked ditalini

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy bottom, sauce pan, sauté bacon until cooked but not crisp. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper and carrot. Cook covered on medium-low until soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir garlic into the vegetables, then deglaze with the white wine. Cook until liquid is gone.
  • Add the chicken broth, the reserved clam juice and the remaining ingredients, except the pasta. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 30 minutes.
  • Add the pasta and the clams and cook until the pasta is al dente, stirring frequently to keep the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
