Want to whip up a quick, quality dinner (for under $10 for six people) that is a real hit with the whole family? Try linguine with clam sauce (red sauce).

Here is what you need:

• 2 cans of chopped clams (Fresh is better, if you can get them)
• 1 can or chopped tomatoes (might also be called “Chunky” or “Chef’s Cut”)
• 1 can of chicken broth
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1/2 cup of red wine or sherry
• 1/4 cup of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of butter
• 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon of basil (Fresh would be better)
• 1 tablespoon of parsley (Fresh would be better)
• 1-2 lbs of linguine pasta
• Parmigiana grated cheese

Here is what to do:

• Start the pasta in a separate pot
• In a separate pan heated to high
• Put in olive oil and butter
• Mince the garlic and drop into pan
• Drop clams into pan
• Pour in chicken broth
• Pour in wine
• Pour in tomatoes
• Add salt, pepper, basil, parsley
• Bring to a boil

After the pasta is drained add the sauce mix and parmigiana grated cheese to taste with the pasta in a large bowl, then serve with Italian bread.

Outside of waiting for the pasta water to boil, the whole process takes less then ten minutes.

Enjoy!
