2 Tbs. good olive oil
2 Tbs. butter
7 cloves garlic, minced
¾cup chopped fresh basil 2 tsp. Oregano
½ tsp. Crushed red pepper
2 bottles clam juice (8 oz. each)
1 lg.can diced tomatoes (29 oz.)
1 can tomato sauce (8 oz.)

Open all cans and drain all liquid together with the clam juice, tomato sauce and water in a large measuring cup. Heat olive oil and butter over medium heat in 31/2 qt. pressure pan. Gently sauté garlic, careful not to over brown, about 1 minute. Add basil, oregano, red pepper and tomatoes and cook together about 30 seconds. Add liquids. Add broken pasta and stir, separating noodles, for about 1 minute. Secure lid, bring to medium pressure (II). When steam starts to escape vent, reduce heat to medium and cook 6 minutes. Quickly release steam one level at a time. Remove lid. Gently stir to separate noodles. Add clams, cover with glass lid and simmer for 1 minute. Toss together and serve with Parmesan cheese and garlic bread.
