This is a dish I have been making since I was in college. I dated an Italian guy back in those and this is a dish we would make together. I haven't made it in years. I was inspired to make it for an auction I donated to my daughter's school. It was very tasty, so I made it for my family. It was so delicious, I have upgrade the recipe a bit since I was in college. While I was making the sauce I was having flashbacks of great times I experienced cooking for my friends 30+ years ago. One of my college girl friends recently sent me a note on Facebook, telling me that she still makes it from time to time. It was so good to hear that, it warmed my heart. Here's hoping that you enjoy this amazing Italian dish - Linguine with a White Wine Clam Sauce. Cheers to my friends young and old - Cecelia
