                         -juice (2 standard cans)

                         -(1 standard can)
    1       lb           Tomatoes (canned),

    4       tb           Butter, clarified
    8                    Garlic cloves, minced
    1       t            Parsley
    1       t            Oregano
    1       t            Salt
    1       lb           Spaghetti
    1       tb           Cooking oil
      1/4   c            Parmesan cheese, grated
 
   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.

   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.
