Things You'll Need:
- Three cans of chopped clams
- 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
- Four cloves of garlic
- 3 tbsp. of butter
- Box of linguini
- 1 tbsp. of olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic salt
- Garlic powder
-
Step 1
Boil the pasta. Boil 8 cups of water. Add 1 tbsp. of olive oil. This prevents the noodles from sticking to each other. Once the water is boiling add the pasta and cook according to the directions on the box. Usually this time ranges from 8 to 10 minutes. Make sure to periodically stir the pasta. This will prevent the noodles from sticking together.

Step 2
Melt the butter in the pan. Make sure you have the stove setting on medium low. If the temperature is set to high the butter will start to brown and you don’t want that to happen. The idea is to melt the butter but not burn it.
-
Step 3
Add chopped garlic and clams. Once the better has melted, add your four garlic cloves and three cans of clams. Sauté the garlic and clams in the butter until the clams appear to be cooked.
-
Step 4
Add the heavy whipping cream. Once the clams are cooked, it’s time for the final step for your clam sauce. You add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. As you add the cream, stir it into the mixture. Keep in mind that the butter may separate and sit on top. That is normal and when you stir the cream sauce it will no longer sit on top. Make sure to taste the sauce before you serve it. If necessary, add garlic salt or garlic powder to suit your taste. Salt and pepper can be added as well.

Step 5
Top the pasta with cream sauce. Now your pasta and cream sauce is done and it’s time to eat. Top the pasta with the cream sauce and enjoy.
