Linguine with clam sauce

We just acquired a bunch of pasta at $0.22 a box with coupons. Normally, I don't like paying for it at all but hey, $0.22 isn't bad. So it inspired me to post a pasta recipe or two.

2 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams, with juice

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon minced garlic

2 tablespoons dried parsley

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1/2 tablespoon dried basil

1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta

Extra clam juice as needed

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta according to package directions.
2. Combine clams with juice, butter, oil, minced garlic, parsley, basil, and pepper in a large saucepan. Place over medium heat until boiling. I usually thicken the sauce with 1T cornstarch and 1T cold water whisked together. Serve warm over pasta.
