Homemade Pasta with White Clam Sauce


HOMEMADE PASTA

As described in our other post Homemade Dough pasta is a very simple and inexpensive way to prepare a meal. You can take a day where you have time, make the pasta and freeze it for another day....
LIKE TODAY.

Separate the Pasta into handfulls easier to portion later
Once the Pasta has been in the freezer for more than 24 hours
Take out and place in a Zip-Lock back for storage
2 to 3 handfulls is enough for each person


WHITE CLAM SAUCE

You can make the clam sauce but we don't always have the time. So it is a good idea to know a good alternative to homemade. Good rule of thumb if the ingredients are not in your pantry then they cannot be all that good for you. This has to be the best White Clam Sauce I've had in a while and at about $3 a can it cannot be beat. 

Clam sauce is available online HERE.

INGREDIENTS

3 Handfulls of Homemade Fetuccine
1 Can of White Clam Sauce
1 Tablespoon of grated cheese(Optional)
(Total cook time 5 to 7 minutes)
In a large pot combine 3 quarts of water, 2 teaspoons of salt and a teaspoon of oil.
The oil will keep any pasta from clumping up into a ball.
Bring to a boil. In a separate smaller sauce pan put can of clam sauce in
medium heat so by the time the pasta is done the sauce will be hot and ready to go. 

Once water has come to a boil, drop in pasta and stir. When cooking fresh pasta it cooks a lot faster than store bought pasta. So try it and once you get it to your desired consistency, put through colander and stir into clam sauce.

Plate and sprinkle grated cheese over the plate.
I am not a photografer but I like to eat and this was DELICIOUS.
