Sounds delicious.  Sub olive oil for the butter to make it a little
healthier, and you're getting pretty darn close to La Cucina Italiana.

All this garlic talk got me thinking about supper earlier, so I went to
the store and got some fresh local shrimp and linguine, and hit the farm
stand across the road for some veggies and got some fresh corn.  Had to
go back to the store for some white wine (I thought I had some but it
appears it was consumed) and parsley and a baguette for garlic bread,
and I made this

Casa Lapostale Chardonnay went well with it, while also making the

Looks absolutely fantastic!  I will definitely try it out, with olive  oil
per Max' suggestion.

I still haven't given up on hoping someone will track down the pasta alla
vongole recipe I saw on TV that only requires one HUGE covered sauce pan -
the pasta is boiled in a broth+water+white wine mixture and the clams added
at the end.  I know the concept but not the amount of liquid.  IIRC it
should turn out like a perfectly sauced  pasta dish - not too wet.

The butter is necessary!  It gives it some good depth of flavor, though 
you could do a mix.  I made a lot extra sauce and it got soaked up.  I 
did saute the shrimp in EVOO, then deglazed it with some white wine and 
poured that into the sauce, it got the shrimp juices and added some nice 
flavor.  Next time I'll boil the shells a bit to make a nice broth, use 
that too.


I'm thinking to use that sauce mix on some mussels, that would be really 
tasty with a big baguette to soak it up!

Rich - Let me know if you find a reliable source for fresh mussels.  I'd never 
had them (that I remembered) until I was cornered into eating a raw mussel, 
when my then-fiancé and I stopped at roadside vendor in Italy.  He flipped off 
one-half of the shell, squeezed some lemon juice onto the meat, and to my 
surprise handed it to me.  Couldn't let my future wife think I didn't 
appreciate fine sea food!  Much to my relief and surprise, it was VERY tasty.

That recipe would work fine with mussels, clams, or shrimp.  I'd keep some of 
the butter for the mussels and clams, but also use some olive oil.

Andrew, I'd be more concerned about the timing of clam addition - you've
got to get the clams to open exactly when the pasta is _almost_ al
dente, so that when you serve, pasta is perfect and clams haven't gotten
tough.

Play around with both the timing and the liquid volume to get it down,
but I think adding the clams at the end may limit that amount of clam
flavor that permeates the pasta and it also requires a fine sense of
timing.  You also run the risk of getting a clam full of mud which ruins
the whole dish.

The first step IIRC is to saute the clams, garlic, and hot pepper flakes in
some olive oil and then white wine until the clams just open.  Remove the
clams, add more clam broth/wine/water and boil the pasta.  When done, or
nearly so, add grated cheese and the clams at the end.  I just can't recall
how much liquid is needed for the pasta  to absorb...

All this garlic talk got me thinking about supper earlier, so I went to 
the store and got some fresh local shrimp and linguine, and hit the farm 
stand across the road for some veggies and got some fresh corn.  Had to 
go back to the store for some white wine (I thought I had some but it 
appears it was consumed) and parsley and a baguette for garlic bread, 
and I made this

Casa Lapostale Chardonnay went well with it, while also making the 
sauce!  It was extremely YUMMY and quite simple.
