Recipe: Linguine with Clams

To me, this is what summer tastes like.

To me, linguine and clams tastes like summer.

Linguine with clams… or in this case, angel hair pasta with clams.

I never understood the conventional recipe for this dish other than it takes five minutes less time and uses a different type of clam. In summer and fall, I use east or west coast soft shell (steamer) clams or razor clams for this dish. I like the flavor of the broth, the enriched sauce and, well, everything about this dish. Is this a classic Italian recipe? Sort of. Does that matter? Nope.

Some notes:

Here are my favorite olive oils.
I order my steamer clams from Maine Lobster Now… not an ad, just a place I like.

And since we’re talking about clams, here are some of my favorite places to eat them in New England.

Linguine with Clams

Here’s the traditional version. It’s good… but mine is better.
