Creamy Pasta With Lots of Clams

I wanted to make a pasta with the clams we'd gotten when we went clam-digging. I was considering going for a light pasta but I wanted to eat a rich, creamy pasta so I added a generous amount of cream. It was surprisingly non-cloying and delicious, so I posted the recipe.
Don't over-reduce the sauce in Step 4. Even if it's just slightly thickened at this point, by the time you put the pasta on the serving plates it will have reached the perfect creamy consistency. Recipe by Lesser Panda

Cooking Instructions
- 1
De-sand the clams and scrub clean. Cut the bacon into small pieces. Slice the garlic. Start boiling the pasta.
- 2
Heat olive oil in a pan and saute the garlic. When it's fragrant, take the garlic out. Add the bacon to the pan and saute. When it's a little crispy, add the clams, white wine and butter and cover with a lid to steam-cook until all the shells have opened up.
- 3
Take the clams out of the pan, leaving the liquid in. (If you happen to remove some of the bacon along with the clams, don't worry about it!)
- 4
Add the fresh cream and milk to the pan and bring to a light simmer. It will thicken a little. Season with Krazy Salt. It's OK if the sauce is just slightly thickened. Don't let it thicken too much.
- 5
Drain the boiled pasta and put into the pan. Add the clams back to the pan also, toss and it's done . Adjust the seasoning if needed. Transfer to serving plates. It's also delicious with parsley or coarsely-ground black pepper on top.

Clam Chowder with Pasta Clam Chowder with Pasta
In my 20s, I made this for my parents and they were very happy with it. So now it has become my family's standard soup.For clams with shells, using the water that the clams were boiled in instead of normal water makes it even more delicious. If you don't have 400ml of the boiled broth, use water to make up the difference. For frozen clams, add them when the water is boiling and cook them quickly. If you put them in low temperature water to cook, they get a strong fishy smell. Recipe by Chiton cookpad.japan -
