Easy linguini and clam sauce w/ Progresso® Recipe Starters

linguini and clam sauceEasy 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

  1. To make clam sauce Add the Progresso® Recipe Starters,  drained Clams, and cheese to a pot heat till warm
  2. Drain pasta once cooked .. do not rinse (it wash away the starch that holds the sauce)
  3. 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.Progresso Recipe Starters
