Pasta with Clams in a Marsala Wine Sauce

This is an easy throw together meal.  I didn't have lemons or white wine so I came up with my own version of linguine with clam sauce.  I don't think I will ever make it the other way again!

Ingredient's:

1 plum tomato diced

package of clams, drained

4 tablespoons olive oil


1/4 cup marsala wine


3 tablespoons tapenade

2 shallots

freshly grated Parmesan cheese

fresh basil for garnish

serves 2

8 ounce bag of organic fusilli pasta

Saute shallots, tomato and tapenade for 2 minutes with a little olive oil.   Add in clams and stir.  Turn up to medium high heat and add the Marsala and reduce.  Serve over pasta and garnish with Parmesan cheese and basil.
