Linguine and Clams

Of all my dad’s favorite foods (he was a chef back in his day), I think this meal is at the top of the list.  “It’s all from the earth,” he always says, “Clams from the sea, garlic and wheat from the ground, and olive oil from the trees.”  Whatever the philosophy behind it, this is a delicious plate of pasta.  Plain and simple: this recipe is worth it.

By the way, Central Coasters (especially north SLO county) – Pier 46 seafood market/restaurant in Templeton is THE PLACE to buy seafood.  High quality, fresh fish and wonderful prepared items.  Great food, and you’re supporting the local economy!  That’s where these littlenecks came from (click for pretty pictures!)
