Linguine and Clams created by mersaydees

Authentic tasting "white" clam sauce. Easy to prepare, yet delicious enough for company. I prefer to use White zinfandel wine, but any white wine will work fine.

This was really great! I've looked for a good recipe (and experimented a lot) for a good white clam sauce . Did do some adjustments for 2 people (not a lot, since our favorite lunch is leftover dinner. Thanks Chef Luvfood!

Absolutely stunning! Made as directed, except converted to 1/3 recipe for DH and I, and used fettucine noodles as I possess a ton of these. Wonderful! Thanks, Chef Luvfood! Made for <b>My 3 Chefs</b>.
