I adapted this recipe from  one I found online, who knows where anymore.  I adapted it to use what I had on hand and I greatly simplified it from about a dozen steps to just 4 very simple ones.  3, if you don't count cooking the pasta as a step.

This dish is a meal on its own.

1   med    onion, chopped
1   med    carrot, chopped
2   clove   garlic, minced
2   T          butter

1   c           clam juice
2   T           lemon juice
1   t            sugar
1   t            italian seasoning

I usually read recipes containing clams rather jealously, as we don't have them here in Australia, and I've never been confident in using related shellfish. But your recipe uses tinned clams, which gives me hope! Thanks :) It sounds delicious...
