This was one of a dozen recipe that my Mom used to make us over and over again for dinner. I’m sure she cut it out of a magazine somewhere, and she held onto that recipe ever since. I copied Mom’s recipe for clam linguine because I always liked when that’s what was on the table for dinner. It’s a good pasta recipe, and it’s very simple to make.
Ingredients needed:
salted butter garlic fresh parsley half and half cream all purpose flour canned chopped clams freshly squeezed lemon juice linguine noodles

Toss the hot pasta a bit with the clam sauce, and then spoon individual servings onto plates. Enjoy!
Canned Clams vs. Fresh Clams:
This recipe is made with canned clams. There’s no need to use fresh clams unless you happen to live in a location where fresh clams are easy to find. I made clam linguine before when we were in New England one summer because the local market had shells clams in their seafood department ready to go! But back in Arizona where we live most of the time, fresh clams are hard to come by. This clam linguine recipe will be good made either way.
