Clam Sauce Recipe With Fettuccine
With this Clam Sauce Recipe, you won’t mind having leftovers. If your family loves this fettuccine as much as mine does, you might want to make extra to have some for later.
Even though we used fettuccine as the base pasta, this easy-to-make recipe can be made with either Fettuccine or Linguine.
How to Make Clam Sauce
Clam Sauce is one of the easiest and quickest sauces to make. Very little preparation and culinary skills are required.
In many recipes, fresh ingredients are often best, but fresh clams will not be needed for this one. Just find canned, chopped clams at your local grocery store, and they will do just fine. The buttery texture of the sauce together with the optional white wine will give you a great final flavor that the whole family will love.
