How to Make Old Spaghetti Factory Original Clam Sauce
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic, chopped onion, and celery.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened but not browned (about 5-7 minutes).
- Sprinkle in the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a smooth roux.
- In a separate pot, steam or boil clams until they open. Discard any that do not open. Remove clams from their shells, reserving the clam juice.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the reserved clam juice, half-and-half, thyme, and salt. Heat over medium heat until it is just simmering.
- Gradually whisk the warm clam juice mixture into the roux, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency (about 2-3 minutes).
- Gently stir in the cooked clams.
- Cook for another minute to heat through. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions.
- Serve the delicious clam sauce over your cooked pasta. Garnish with extra thyme or chopped parsley, if desired.
