Easy linguini and clam sauce great for a quick meal. General Mills sent me a Box Top pantry stock up and with the food that was provided was Progresso® Recipe Starters Roasted Garlic. I normally make my Linguini and clam sauce from scratch. I decided to try the Recipe Starter, because I want a quick meal with less oil.
Ingredients
- Progresso® Recipe Starters Roasted Garlic
- 2 Cans of clams minced – Drained
- 1lb of Linguini or Pasta
- 1/4 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 1/4 teaspoon Oregano
Make pasta following instructions
- To make clam sauce Add the Progresso® Recipe Starters, drained Clams, and cheese to a pot heat till warm
- Drain pasta once cooked .. do not rinse (it wash away the starch that holds the sauce)
- Pour the Sauce over pasta.. sprinkle cheese
Eat and enjoy!
Less oil then a traditional linguini and clam sauce. Great with a salad and bread.
I really thought it was yummy and quick, not all the oil and butter as a normal clam sauce.
Other ideas: use the Progresso® Recipe Starters, would be good as a base for a Mushroom soup or mushroom pasta. Using a variety of mushrooms oyster, buttons and portables. Just a thought for a vegetarian option.

Disclosure: I did receive this product from General mills, all the opinions in this post are my own.
Ooh! This looks easy enough for me to do. I usually order this out because I had no idea what to do with shelled clams (yes, I am that impossible in the kitchen for main dishes). Appetizers and desserts I can do!
Used the canned clams so much easier.. who wants to mess with the shells at home. Have fun making the pasta, Heather.. and thanks for stopping by.
Just picked up all my ingredients. Can’t wait to make this! Was very inexpensive to buy. Seems easy to make and linguine w clam sauce is one of my favorite meals. Doesn’t hurt that its a little healthier than the butter and oil version. Thanks for sharing!
