I know this isn't really a "seasonal" treat but in a way it is, in the sense that for us anyways, pasta is always in season.

This is a great spaghetti (or linguine) recipe because it's good, it's healthy and quite low-fat.

Canned baby clams make an especially convenient sauce, but you can substitute 1/2 lb. fresh minced clams and let them simmer for 3 minutes.

Ingredients:

1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil.

1 onion, chopped.

3 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped.

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped.

1/2 c. dry white wine.

1/3 c. chopped fresh parsley.

2 Tbs. chopped fresh basil.

Sea salt & freshly ground pepper to taste.

1 Tbs. pine nuts.

12 oz. spaghetti or linguine.

Preparation;

1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add tomatoes and garlic; cook, stirring, until the tomatoes have softened, about 3 minutes.

Stir in wine and clam juice; bring to a simmer.

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.

Stir in parsley, basil and clams and heat through.

Season with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper.

2. Toast pine nuts in a small dry skillet, stirring, over medium heat, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, about 12 minutes.

Drain and add to the skillet with the sauce.

Toss to coat.

Sprinkle with the pine nuts and serve immediately.
