Jims White Clam Sauce

This is the second time I've made this recipe. It is consistent as rain. A very quick, but seemingly fancy dish that is traditionally served over Fettuccine. Today I served it over basmati rice and I might enjoy that even more because the rice seems to soak up the white wine butter so thoroughly.

I had opened one can of chopped clams too many yesterday and wanted to find something perfect to do with the remainder. This is definitely it. It is a relatively inexpensive dish which can be the main dish for a party of six.

Today I used reconstituted dried shitake mushrooms along with some chopped fresh basil. The basil I added in the first step to saute with the garlic, thyme and oregano. The green in the photo is the fresh parsley which is added in the last step.

I haven't had white clam sauce in years and the recipes I've used in the past didn't have all of those lovely herbs in it. It sounds delicious! Thanks for putting it here.
