Spaghetti & Clams

One of my family's favorite things is steamed clams.



We score the big bundle at Costco a few times a month and rarely have any leftovers.



But we had so many other things last night, that we did indeed have a few dozen left.
I decided to make a very simple Spaghetti & Clam dinner. Light, fast & delicious, see for yourself.

Saute 2 T. finely chopped onions with a few minced cloves of garlic in 2 T. butter until tender but not browned.

Add 1 cup of water and 1 T. vegetable boullion and simmer while pasta cooks.

3 minutes before pasta is fully cooked, add clams to broth and squeeze fresh lemon juice over all.

Drain pasta and serve clams & broth over top. Sprinkle with fresh Parmesan cheese & ground pepper.
