 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    6 1/2   oz           Can Minced Or Diced Clams
                         -see note
    1       tb           Olive Oil
    1                    Clove Garlic Minced
    1       tb           Oregano Or Basil -- or
                         Mixture
      1/4   ts           Salt
                         Few Grinds Of Pepper
 
   * drain juice into small saucepan, and set clams aside.
   
   Add garlic and seasonings to clam juice, bring to a
   simmer, and let cook while the pasta cooks.  Drain
   pasta and return to pot in which it was cooked.
   Remove juices from heat, add clams, and pour over
   cooked pasta.  Toss well and let stand a few minutes
   so juices can permeate the pasta well before you serve
   it.  I understand that it is not chic to use grated
   parmesan or romano cheese with a seafood sauce, but we
   love romano on this.  These canned clams must not be
   cooked--they turn into rocks if you do.
