Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsps butter
3 garlic cloves, mincedTwo 10-ounce cans, chopped clams, drained juice reserved.

Directions:
Directions:
1. Cook the linguine according to the package directions, being careful not to overcook. Pasta should have plenty of "bite" to it.
2 In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter. Using both olive oil and butter allows you to heat the mixture at a higher heat before it starts to brown.
3. Add the garlic and clams and stir together. Cook for 3 minutes.
4. Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the pan with the spoon. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the sauce is reduced and less watery. Add in l more tbsp butter and stir to melt.
5. Reduce the heat and squeeze in the lemon juice.
6. Sprinkle in the parsley and pour in the cream. This is a very decadent dish.
7. Add salt and black pepper. Stir well and taste for seasonings, adding a splash of clam juice if the sauce needs thinning. Cook over low heat for 3 minutes more, or until heated through.
8. Pour the pasta in as heated serving bowl.
9. Pour on the sauce straight from the skillet, including all the luscious juice.
10, Toss to combine. At this point, your kitchen smells like Heaven.
11. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with lemon slices.

Have never made this only eaten. It is delicious. Haven't made because the old man I live with, sometime, would throw me out the door.
