Pasta with Clam Sauce
This classic, simple recipe will be the one you turn to after a day at the beach when you unexpectedly run into friends whom you impulsively invite over to dinner and who just as unexpectedly accept. You'll probably have everything but the parsley and basil, and you may even have those if you've planted a nice little herb box or garden off the back step. If not, you can make a quick stop at the grocery store, where you can also pick up some crusty French bread and the makings for a salad.
