 Categories: Home Cookin,
      Yield: 4

           1/4 pound butter or margarine
    1/3 c  olive oil
           OR use 1/2 cup olive oil
           in place
           of butter and olive oil: no
           cholesterol)
           1/2 teaspoon freshly ground
           pepper
      1 ts oregano, crumbled
      2 tb basil, crumbled
      3    garlic cloves
      1    1/2 cups clams, fresh or
           canned (I
           like to use 2 cans of
           Chicken of
           the Sea baby clams)
      1 c  clam juice, fresh or
           bottled
           Salt to taste
      1 lb spaghetti, cooked
           1/2 cup freshly grated
           low-fat
           Parmesan cheese
           (optional, but
           delicious)
      3 tb fresh parsley, minced

  Shred cheese (#1` knife) and set aside. Mince parsley and set
  aside.  Mince garlic.
  Melt the margarine and add the olive oil, pepper, oregano, basil,
  garlic, clams, and clam juice.  Simmer for 30 minutes.  Add salt
  to taste.
  Warm a large bowl while you cook the spaghetti.  Rinse and drain
  the spaghetti, put in the bowl and add the clam sauce.  Toss with
  the  parsley and serve immediately. Sprinkle with shredded cheese
  to taste.
  Leftovers keep well (refrigerated) and heat up nicely in a
  microwave. Haven't tried freezing it - I usually enjoy eating it too
much.
