Clam Sauce Spaghetti
Ingredients
  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams, with juice
  • 2 tablespoons grated Romano cheese
Instructions
1
Fill a substantial container with salted water and place it on high heat until the water reaches its boiling point.
2
Cook long, thin strands of pasta called spaghetti in the boiling water, gently stirring every now and then, until they are soft but still retain some firmness when bitten into, approximately 12 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, heat a moderate amount of olive oil in a small cooking vessel over medium temperature.
4
Add minced garlic and cook until it turns a darker shade, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
5
Melt butter in the saucepan by stirring it with other ingredients such as parsley, garlic powder, oregano, basil, and black pepper until the butter is fully incorporated.
6
Add clams with some of their surrounding liquid and cook until heated through.
7
Remove the cooked spaghetti from the boiling water; combine it with the clam sauce.
8
Top the pasta with grated cheese, typically made from cow's milk.
