CLAM CHOWDER MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a small roasting pan with cooking spray.
• Combine ground beef, 1/2 can chowder, onion, eggs, celery, bread crumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl; mix until smooth. Mound meatloaf mixture in the prepared roasting pan. Cover pan with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour.
• Remove from oven; pour remaining 1/2 can chowder over top and sides of meatloaf. Return uncovered pan to the hot oven; bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 30 minutes more.

SPICY CLAM PASTA WITH BACON, PEAS AND BASIL

Steps:

• Put basil, parsley and garlic in a mortar or food processor. Add salt and pepper to taste and 1/4 cup oil. Pound or whiz to obtain a bright green purée.
• Put a pot of water on to boil and make it very salty. (It will boil faster with the lid on.)
• Over medium heat, render bacon in its own fat until browned and crisp but not hard, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Pour off fat but leave a small amount in the pan, just to coat the bottom.
• Increase heat to medium-high, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, the clams, serrano chile and red pepper. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 2 minutes, stirring and coating clams well. Add peas and warm through, then turn off heat.
• Boil pasta and cook until slightly underdone. Drain pasta and add to pan with clams. Turn heat to medium-high and stir all together. Add a splash of pasta water, if it seems dry. Add basil purée and toss well. Top with bacon and reserved basil leaves. Pass lemon wedges.
