This classic Italian dish can be part of your regular dinner rotation with this lightened up clam sauce. It's an easy-to-make gourmet meal for seafood lovers that’s ready in 30 minutes thanks to canned clams, which are convenient and less expensive than fresh. Be sure to have all your ingredients measured and ready to go before you start cooking. That way you can make the sauce easily without overcooking the garlic mixture or the clams. If you don’t have white wine, substitute 1/4 cup of bottled clam juice instead. Serve with a simple side salad to complete the meal.
