Linguine pasta is served in a light dry white wine sauce with clams. It's delicious, just like in the best Italian restaurants, yet surprisingly simple to prepare with minimal ingredients. Besides the pasta, white wine, and fresh clams, you'll need a little high-quality olive oil, garlic, red pepper, and fresh herbs. The flavor is just the right amount of piquant and spicy. Serve with grilled bread to soak up any remaining linguine sauce.
