 24       oz           Clams (canned), with
                       -juice (2 standard cans)
  8       oz           Tomato paste
                       -(1 standard can)
  1       lb           Tomatoes (canned),
                       -with liquid
  4       tb           Butter, clarified
  8                    Garlic cloves, minced

 Saute the garlic in about 2 T of clarified butter
 until lightly browned. Stir in the clam juice, tomato
 paste, tomatoes and liquid, parsley and oregano.
 Simmer until reduced by about half. Add the clams and
 remove from heat. This sauce should be reheated just
 prior to serving.

 Cook and drain the spaghetti.  In the empty cooking
 pot, melt the remaining clarified butter, and return
 the spaghetti to the pot and stir until coated
 uniformly.  Serve with lots of garlic bread and a dry
 white wine.

 NOTES:

 *  Garlic, clam and tomato spaghetti -- This recipe
 originally appeared in "Lowbush Moose (and other
 Alaskan recipes)" by Gordon R.  Nelson.  I've modified
 it somewhat.  Yield:  Serves 4-6.

 *  You can use oil instead of clarified butter, at
 some sacrifice in flavor.

 : Difficulty:  easy.
 : Time:  30 minutes.
 : Precision:  approximate measurement OK.
