Clam Bow ties

1 box bow tie pasta (I got the kind made out of vegetables)
1 package frozen little neck clams (sold in frozen fish cooler ~$9.00)
1 nice large tomato
few sprigs parsley
1 package fresh mushrooms (cut into pieces)
butter, white wine, black pepper, and garlic

In a colander, rinse your frozen clams.  They are fully cooked, but you have to rinse off the vegetable oil and ice crystals.  Use your vegetable steamer in your largest sauce pot (4qt if you have it).  Steam the clams until they start to open (5 minutes?). Remove from heat, and dump back in colander.  I don't like the fishy broth.  In your 9" skillet melt 3 tablespoons of butter and 1 tsp of garlic.  Use this to saute the mushrooms a little bit.  Season with pepper or lemon pepper.  Add the diced tomato and parsley with 1/4 C. white wine.  This will smell delicious!  Add the clams, and use a spoon to mix them around.  Serve over pasta.
