1/2
cup thinly sliced fresh basil
1
cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4
cup fresh lemon juice
Additional grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
1.
Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain pasta; return to same pot.
2.
Meanwhile, heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes; sauté until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add drained clams and basil; stir 1 minute.
3.
Add clam sauce, 1 cup Parmesan cheese and lemon juice to pasta. Toss over medium-high heat until heated through, adding reserved clam juices by 1/4 cupfuls if pasta is dry. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
