CREAMY CLAM LINGUINE

Creamy Clam Linguine image

This is a fast but special entree that I made up when my sons were home from touring. They loved it so much that they request it whenever they're home. You can use the juice from the canned clams, but bottled clam juice gives a better flavor to this dish.-Margie Clevenger, Bowling Green, Kentucky
