Linguine and Clam Sauce

Linguine and Clam Sauce delivers a briny kiss of clam juice balanced with butter, olive oil, and lots of garlic for a bright, aromatic bite. Fresh parsley lifts the flavors, while a dusting of Parmesan adds savory depth. It’s a quick, weeknight-friendly pasta that feels special enough for company and pairs beautifully with a crisp salad.
