Ingredients:
1 pound (about 24) small fresh clams, scrubbed clean
1 cup white wine
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 container (10 ounces) BUITONI Refrigerated Alfredo Sauce
1/2 teaspoon saffron strands*
1 package (9 ounces) BUITONI Refrigerated All Natural Linguine
2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)
Directions:
STEAM clams with wine and garlic in covered, medium saucepan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until clams open. Drain clams, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid.
HEAT sauce, reserved cooking liquid and saffron in small saucepan over low heat for 5 minutes. Stir until blended and saffron imparts a yellow color to sauce.
PREPARE pasta according to package directions.
TOP pasta with sauce and clams. Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
*Saffron strands can be found in the spice section of major grocery and specialty stores.
