Linguine alle Vongole

With this lockdown we’re all experiencing, a lot of pantries are getting cleared out (maybe for the first time in years? 

Just sayin’…).  I had boxes of pasta that needed some love, and it didn’t take long to come up with the perfect recipe! I’ve been making Linguine alle Vongole for years.  Whenever I can find nice fresh clams, I’m in!  Being that this is such an easy and delicious recipe, you’ll wonder why you haven’t made it before.  Clams, garlic, olive oil, white wine…pretty darn simple. I hope you love it as much as I do!
