Ingredients
- 4 ounces butter
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
- ½ cup finely chopped celery
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 2 cans chopped clams (6 oz each)
- 4 cups half and half
- 1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Combine butter, minced garlic, chopped onion, and chopped celery in a saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until tender but not brown.
- Add flour to the pan and stir until a roux forms. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes to cook the flour completely.

- Add the hot clam juice mixture to the roux and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens.
- Add the clams, stirring gently to mix throughout the sauce. Serve over cooked pasta. Garnish with chopped parsley.
