Garlic Butter Linguine with Clams

Begin by filling a substantial container with salted water, then place it on the stovetop and bring the liquid to a rolling boil. Next, carefully add your chosen pasta shape into the boiling water and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it reaches a satisfying firmness. Remove the pasta from the water using a colander and set it aside for later use.

Meanwhile, melt a generous amount of butter in a large cooking vessel over the medium-high heat setting. Add sliced onions, button mushrooms, and minced garlic to the pot and cook until they become tender and fragrant. Pour in a glass of wine, then continue to simmer the mixture over medium heat for 10 minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary if the liquid starts to evaporate too quickly.

Add the clams, along with their reserved juice, sour cream, a pinch of black pepper, and chopped parsley to the skillet. Simmer this new mixture for an additional 20 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.

Finally, combine your cooked pasta with the clam mixture and serve immediately. Savor the delicious result of your culinary efforts!
