A delightful pasta dish featuring a creamy garlic clam sauce, perfect for a comforting meal.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown for a smoother sauce.
Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and diced celery to the butter and sauté until tender.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed mixture and stir to form a roux.
Cook the roux for a minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually add the cream, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce.
Warm the cream slightly before adding to avoid curdling.
Stir in the clam juice, clams, salt, white pepper, and thyme, and cook until heated through.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions, then drain.
Reserve some pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
Toss the cooked spaghetti with the clam sauce until well coated.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the pasta.
Serve the pasta in bowls, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color.
