Garlicky Clams and FunGuy Mushrooms with Linguine

A beautiful plate of food for dinner is often a sign that the cook has slaved away in the kitchen for at least and hour, if not more, but what if it can be done in less than half the time?  If that peaks your interest, then we have just the recipe for you! 

Steamed clams, sauteed FunGuy mushrooms, and fresh tomato comes together to form a flavorful garlicky white wine sauce that is then tossed with simple linguine noodles. So quick and easy, it’s certain to become a family favorite!

DIRECTIONS:

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add in the linguine, letting it cook approximately 8 minutes or until the pasta is tender but still a little firm. Once cooked, drain the pasta of excess water, reserving ½ cup of the cooking water. 
2. While the pasta cooks, make the sauce with the FunGuy mushrooms and clams. 
3. Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Next, add in the mushrooms and saute for 3-5 minutes. Toss in the diced tomato, stir, and cook another 3-4 minutes. 
4. Pour in the wine and half of the parsley, stirring well to release any stuck bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the clams to the pan, cover and bring it to a simmer. Cook 6-8 minutes, or until most of the clams have opened. Discard any clams that have remained closed. 
5. Transfer the pasta to the pan, along with half of the reserved pasta water and let it cook another 1-2 minutes. The linguine should absorb some of the liquid, but not all of it. Add more of the reserved water if needed to make it saucy. 
6. Serve immediately with the rest of the chopped parsley on top! 

Have a Fun meal!
