This is very tasty and wonderfully low fat. I used spinach linguine and all broth. My clams were canned whole baby clams. This recipe gives a lot of flavor with the onion, garlic and lemon with very little effort. The only thing I would change would be to thicken the sauce just a bit so that it would cling to the pasta a little more. Made for Photo Tag.

Very good alternative to high fat clam sauce w/pasta. I picked this recipe for Tag to use up frozen clams (which I used instead of canned clams). I also used the white wine and the whole can of chicken broth (to make up for not using the clam broth) and cilantro instead of parsley. Very good and easy! Thanks for sharing!
