Stancato's Pasta Sauce


	Linguine with Clam and Tomato Sauce 2 lb fresh clams in their shells, or 12 oz canned clams, with their liquid 6 tbsp olive oil 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 Jar of Stancato’s Marinara Sauce 1 lb linguine 4 tbsp chopped parsley salt and freshly ground black pepper Serves 4 Scrub and rinse the clams well under cold running water. Place them in a large saucepan with a cupful of water, and heat until the clams begin to open. Lift each clam out as soon as it opens, and scoop it out of its shell using a small spoon. Place in a bowl. If the clams are large, chop them into 2 or 3 pieces. Reserve any liquids from the shells in a separate bowl. When all the clams have opened (discard any that do not open) pour the cooking liquids into the juices from the clams, and strain them through a piece of paper towel to remove any sand. If using canned clams, use the liquid from the can. Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Place the olive oil in a medium saucepan with the garlic. Cook over moderate heat until the garlic is just golden. Remove the garlic and discard. Add the marinara sauce to the oil, and pour in the clam liquid. Mix well and cook over low to moderate heat until the sauce begins to dry out and thicken slightly. Add salt and the pasta to the boiling water. A minute or two before the pasta is ready to be drained, stir the parsley and the clam into the tomato sauce, and raise the heat. Add some freshly ground black pepper, and taste for seasoning. Drain the pasta, and turn it into a serving bowl. Pour on the hot sauce, and mix well before serving.
