Linguini With Clams And Bacon

1. 1

   Cook pasta according to package directions. ALWAYS make sure your pasta water is well salted. I heard the best way to make sure it has enough salt is that it should taste like sea water!

2. 2

   Meanwhile, heat butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook for about 3-4 minutes until slightly browned and done. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute, then add the drained clams. Cook for about another 3 minutes.

3. 3

   Pour in the white wine or chicken broth, scrapping the bottom of the skillet/saute pan with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the sauce is reduced and less watery.

4. 4

   Reduce the heat and add the lemon juice. Stir. Add the milk, salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine and leave on a gentle simmer until the sauce thickens up nicely. Add to the pasta and mix well. Add parmesan cheese if you like. But, it was completely unnecessary......
