👨‍🍳 Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.

Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.

Stir in onion and garlic, and cook 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent.

Add clams, stirring frequently for 3 minutes, or until clams are lightly browned.

Stir in parsley, olive oil, and reserved clam juice mixed with enough water to equal 2 cups liquid.

Increase heat and bring to a low boil.

Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serve over pasta with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
