This has been a long-time favorite dish of mine. Over the years, I've changed it up a bit - I like to nearly double the sauce and I add starch/water mixture to thicken up the sauce. I also add the wine before the other liquids and let it cook down for about 4 minutes before I add the rest of the ingredients. This ensures the alcohol flavor cooks off....
Linguine with Garlicky Clams and Peas
Fresh linguine from the supermarket's refrigerated section cooks quickly, so this dish comes together in a flash. Crusty bread and a tossed green salad will round out the meal.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 1/2 cups pasta mixture, 2 tablespoons cheese, and 1 1/2 teaspoons basil)
