SPAGHETTI WITH CANNED CLAMS

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs, granulated garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toast the breadcrumbs, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
• Fill a large pot with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and season generously with salt. Add the spaghetti and cook to al dente, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large saute pan or skillet, add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil along with the garlic and red pepper flakes. Turn the heat on low and let cook until fragrant, for a few minutes. Stir in the wine and cook another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the clams, then turn up the heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Use tongs to take the pasta out of the water directly into the pan (this works best when the pasta is a couple minutes away from being done; you want it really al dente so it finishes cooking in the sauce). Use tongs to toss. If dry, add a little pasta water. Add the parsley. Toss until coated in the sauce and the pasta is tender. Serve with the toasted breadcrumbs sprinkled on top.

KATHIE'S CLAM DIP

Steps:

• MIX all ingredients well and spoon into dip bowl.
• COVER with plastic wrap and CHILL for at least 1 hour
• SERVE with chips or crackers. My favorites are with either Frito Lay Scoops or Triscuits. My family loves this dip. I think yours will too. Depending on the size of crowd, this recipe can be doubled, tripled or however much you want to make.
• NOTE: I've made this with fresh minced onion or dried minced onion. I prefer the real onion, but the dried is much faster to measure with less tears!
