Creamy Clam Pasta

By no means will I ever claim to be someone who creates a dish from scratch.  If I can get away with an easier way to create an amazing dish, then I am all for it!  One of my family's favorite dishes is my "Creamy Clam Pasta."  The wonderful part is that this dish is super easy and always a party pleaser!!!

Necessary ingredients:
  • 1 box of linguine 
  • 1 can of white clam sauce
  • 1 can of red clam sauce
  • 1 can/bottle of Alfredo sauce
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 6 to 8 cups of water to boil (or to suite)
  • Salt to taste
Boil the box of linguine until it is al dente.  In another pot mix the can of white clam sauce, red clam sauce and one can/bottle of alfredo sauce.  Mix all the sauces together and place them under a medium to med-high heat so they can incorporate into each other.  After the sauces have heated up, put the al dente linguine pasta in with the sauces and mix well.  On medium to low heat, allow to incorporate, mixing every 4 minutes until you achieve your desired level of creamy consistency.  Once it's achieved your preferred creamy consistency, serve and enjoy!

Cheesy Chicken Empanada/Pastellios


  • 1 pkg of frozen empanadas (10 Goya discos)
  • 2-3 cups of shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 can of pimientos
  • 1 can of green chilies
  • 2 cups of shredded cheese (Mexican Blend)
  • Diced jalapeno peppers (depending on how spicy you want them... I also pour in some of the juice..only a little though)
  • 2 tablespoons of Mayonnaise
  • Finely chopped onion
  • About a bottle of vegetable oil for frying



  1.  Cook the chicken and shred (I cook with adobo, oregano, sazon con culantro y achiote, pepper)
  2. Mix the chicken in with the onions, pimientos, green chiles, peppers, mayo and cheese.  I sometimes add more spices for more flavor
  3. Take a tablespoon or so of the mixture and add to each disc. 
  4. Depending on how big your frying pan is, I usually deep fry 1-2 at a time.  Fry in oil until brown.... usually only a minute or so, pay close attention to it so they do not over cook.
