Clam Linguine

I love food. One of my favorite things to do is browse through recipes whether it be in an old cookbook or on someone’s blog. Even better is when I find a recipe that is easy to make and yummy to eat. So I thought I would try to start documenting the recipes we love. Send me any of your favorites, I LOVE getting new recipes. Below is a dish that I made tonight and was pretty tasty (and super easy!).

The next day I heated up some of the left over broth and wine, added some cherry tomatoes and then tossed in the left over pasta. It was delicious!
