¾ Cup Bottled Clam Juice
¾ Cup Dry White Wine

NOTES: This pasta tastes great upon reheating, there is no salt added, may need a dash for serving.
Melt butter with olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add garlic and saute about one minute. Quickly blend in flour with a wire whisk.
Gradually stir in the remaining ingredients.
Reduce heat to medium-low and stir constantly until the sauce is slightly thickened.
