This is another one of those recipes that I think of when I haven't had time to defrost anything or stop at the grocery store to pick something up for a quick dinner. It is simple and delicious. I keep all of the ingredients on hand, so the longest part of the prep time is boiling the water for the pasta.

This, also, is a recipe from my newest cookbook. Southern Wild Game and Seafood Cookbook That project has taken a few weeks to produce and I have needed a lot of quick and easy menus. We put it together from our favorite recipes that we use at my brothers Hunt Camp. Southerners have passed the knowledge of hunting from generation to generation. I am not a hunter myself, but it sure is peaceful to get away for a weekend without distractions. I have time to cook and explore new recipes, which, for me is a lot of fun. We usually have between 4 to 12 people on any given weekend, so the quantities for the recipes will vary according to the head count.

Linguine With White Clam Sauce

It sounds too simple to taste as good as it does.

2 Tbsp. Butter

4 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

3 Cloves Garlic, Minced

1 Can Clams

1/3 Cup Parsley, Fresh, Minced

8 Ounces Linguine, Cooked and Drained

1 Cup Parmesan Cheese, Grated

1. Melt butter in a sauce pan. Add extra virgin olive oil and lightly sauté the garlic.

2. Add the liquid from the clams and parsley to the garlic and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes or until the parsley is done. Add the clams and just heat through. Do not overcook the clams or they will be tough.

3. Pour the clam sauce over the linguine, top with the parmesan cheese and toss to coat the pasta
