Spaghetti and Clams Recipe

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.

Meanwhile melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in onion and garlic and cook 5 minutes or until onion is translucent. Add clams stirring frequently for 3 minutes or until clams are lightly browned. Stir in parsley olive oil and reserved clam juice mixed with enough water to equal 2 cups liquid.

Increase heat and bring to a low boil. Reduce to a simmer cover and cook 15 minutes stirring occasionally. Serve over pasta with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
