How to make it

- Have a glass of wine, tell your guests a funny story, and start heating your pasta water
- When the onions start to get soft and transparent, stir and let 'em simmer a minute or 2 longer while you open 3 cans 'O clams ... saving 2 cans worth of juice
- Add the liquid from the 2 cans of clams
- Add the dried oregano and dried basil

- throw the Garlic bread in the oven
- While the water for your pasta is heating, add the clams, parsley and a couple T's of the Parmesan to your sauce
- Cook spaghetti noodles till al dente
- Drain well and toss with the awesome sauce you have just created in your biggest frying pan
- Serve with a nice white wine, tossed green salad, fresh grated Parmesan and don't forget the bread in the oven
