Notes
Do not cook the clams for more than 5 minutes. Otherwise, these will become rubbery.
Be careful while adding salt, as butter and canned clams contain salt.
You can make the sauce spicy by using extra red pepper flakes and freshly ground black pepper.
Add ½ cup of heavy whipped cream for a creamier version.
Do you like tomatoes in your spaghetti? You can use half a cup of tomato and a little fresh basil for added taste.
Wondering if the sauce can be stored? You can store it in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. Reheat on low flame. Add half a cup of fresh cream to loosen up if the sauce gets too thick.
