Linguini with White Clam Sauce

I use this really good, quick, easy & delicious Linguini with White Clam Sauce recipe, that I make fresh, from scratch (not jarred), courtesy of the Saratoga Olive Oil Co. recipe page.

I have made some minor changes to suite my taste such as substituting a dry white wine with Smoke Eater Pinot Grigio as well as adding grating cheese at the end.

I also like to use Saratoga's basil olive oil for the recipe.

This dish pairs perfectly with Smoke Eater "All Hands White" Pinot Grigio imported from Friuli Italy.

Enjoy!
