Description
  Clam sauce always makes me think of Fridays and Christmas time, and this recipe is the perfect way to satisfy these memories in a healthy way. It has some healthy fats in extra virgin olive oil, but isn't a total calorie bomb like most recipes. This goes great over some pasta or spaghetti squash, so check out my Spaghetti Squash Cooked 3 Ways to learn how to make this simple vegetable
