White Clam Sauce

  • I have been craving this but can't find a recipe that doesnt have 1/2 cup of butter ANy ideas?
    I want to have it with Shirataki noodles
  • Just use your usual recipe but saute in olive oil. Here's a simple one using canned minced clams. I'd be inclined to add some milk and thicken it with an egg yolk to make it creamier.
  • that looks so good! the kind my gramma used to buy was actually clear I think I'd double the clams or so but I'm craving thema nd their b12 goodness
    Ruth LAdy You rock!
  • Oooh, that looks yummy Ruth. If you wanted the creaminess, you could experiment with adding evaporated skim milk and/or LCLC. Maybe some arrowroot powder to thicken. That's what I do for cream soups. I've been hankering for some cream of crab lately.
  • Now I'm craving clams!
  • When I want creaminess, I opt for fat-free cream cheese and ffree chicken broth--if you need to thicken, just use cornstarch..sounds yummy
  • KO, if you want it to be healthy and taste like butter, just use the regular Smart Balance (or some other "trans fat free" margarine).
  • When I get back on the Carb train I'm definitely goign to try this !
