Wader - nice recipe thanks for sharing. I was watching triple D with Guy Fieri the other night and one of the Italian joints he went to made a very similar recipe for Linguine and Clam; the shift was adding about a cup of Heavy Cream (or could of been Half and Half) to the sauté pan towards the end when all the ingredients were in it (except the Linguine) , letting in reduce, then adding the Linguine. It looked great and an interesting twist on a classic dish.
