TIPS & TRICKS

How was this recipe created?  Well, we had spaghetti one night.  The sauce was from the jar instead of homemade.  As usual, we had a lot of leftover. 

You know me.  Seeing my food in the garbage is the last thing I want to see.  At the same time, I had 2 cups of fresh clam juice from the perfectly steamed clams and some chopped clams from the cans.  Viola!  I have everything ready for a pasta dish.  There goes the one-pot Linguine with red clam sauce.

Yes, you can use leftover spaghetti sauce in this recipe.  But I highly recommend that you only use vegetarian one.  Yes, no meat and no cheese.  You can adjust the flavor later.  Otherwise, use either tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce from a can/jar.  Obviously for this one, I use spaghetti sauce from the jar.
