Quick Clam Spaghetti

SUBMITTED BY: KITTY1960      PHOTO BY: KITTY1960

"A very quick and easy crowd pleaser! Spaghetti tossed with clams, garlic, parsley, and Parmesan. The kids will love it, adults too! I like to serve with a crisp white wine, a tossed green salad, and garlic bread."

This was delicious!! It did not taste fishy at all (I'm not a fan of seafood). I halved the recipe and made the recipe exactly as written, however, I added 2 tablespoons of white wine with the olive oil. When serving this dish to young children, just don't mention the it has clams in it *wink*. Thank You Kitty >'o'< for the recipe!!

I had company for supper and everyone liked it. Only change I'd make is to add more clams and more garlic.
