I've made linguini with clams for years and this is a very good recipe - and easy enough for a novice. Only problem, which a new cook might not notice until it's too late, is that it calls for 12 little neck clams - that's only 3 clams per serving. I would use six or more per serving, especially if the clams are on the small side.

I was in the mood for a clam dish so I go online to look one up. I find this one and it was out of this world. Like I was on the beach on the east coast. YUMMY
