How to Make Clam And Mushroom Sauce

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe 4-cup measure for 30 seconds, or until melted.
  2. Add 8 ounces of sliced cremini mushrooms and 2 thinly sliced green onions to the melted butter.
  3. Microwave on high, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes, or until softened, stirring once halfway through.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth.
  5. Drain a 10-ounce can of minced clams, reserving 1/3 cup of the clam juice.
  6. Gradually whisk in the reserved 1/3 cup of clam juice, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, and 1/4 cup of dry white wine (optional) into the mushroom mixture.
  7. Microwave on high, uncovered, for 2-4 minutes, or until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, stirring once halfway through.
  8. Stir in the drained clams and microwave on high for 1 minute, or until heated through.
  9. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta (linguine or spaghetti squash recommended).
