Pasta Bolognese

2 tablespoons butter
1/4 pound sliced bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips
1 onion, chopped
1/2 pound ground beef
1 cup canned low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 pound spaghetti
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

In a large frying pan, heat the butter and bacon over moderately low heat. Cook until the bacon renders some of its fat, about 3 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes longer. Stir in the ground beef and cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Add the broth, wine, tomato paste, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 25 minutes. Stir in the cream and remove from the heat.

In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghetti until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain and toss with the sauce and the parsley.

Cook the pasta, drain, rinse, and set aside. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Add the parsley, oregano, wine, and clam juice. Bring to just under a boil. Add the clams and cooked pasta. Cook until just heated. Serve warm. Serves 2
