Linguini with Red Clam Sauce



Fresh

Linguine with Red Clam Sauce is a great recipe that a quite few people have requested. I though I posted it a long time ago but it must have been the white clam sauce that I remember.

If I recall from my days in the restaurant business, people requested Linguini with White Clam Sauce more than red sauce. Anyway, unlike the white sauce this red sauce recipe has no butter or cheese.

When making this Linguine with Red Clam Sauce recipe remember to use littleneck clams. These clams are a lot more tender and less chewy than the others. Try buying clams that are small to medium in size.
