Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
24 oz Clams (canned), with
-juice (2 standard cans)
8 oz Tomato paste
-(1 standard can)
1 lb Tomatoes (canned),
-with liquid
4 tb Butter, clarified
8 Garlic cloves, minced
1 t Parsley
1 t Oregano
1 t Salt
1 lb Spaghetti
1 tb Cooking oil
1/4 c Parmesan cheese, grated

Saute the garlic in about 2 T of clarified butter
until lightly browned. Stir in the clam juice, tomato
paste, tomatoes and liquid, parsley and oregano.
Simmer until reduced by about half. Add the clams and
remove from heat. This sauce should be reheated just
prior to serving.

Cook and drain the spaghetti. In the empty cooking
pot, melt the remaining clarified butter, and return
the spaghetti to the pot and stir until coated
uniformly. Serve with lots of garlic bread and a dry
white wine.

NOTES:

* Garlic, clam and tomato spaghetti -- This recipe
originally appeared in "Lowbush Moose (and other
Alaskan recipes)" by Gordon R. Nelson. I've modified
it somewhat. Yield: Serves 4-6.

* You can use oil instead of clarified butter, at
some sacrifice in flavor.

: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 30 minutes.
: Precision: approximate measurement OK.
