Italians, we like our pasta. We also like our seafood. Fancy to some, gross to others, and a top 8 allergen to a small percent (like my mom). Italians celebrate the Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve, with various plates of fish and seafood galore. My family never stuck to that whole-heartedly, but we did include some fish and seafood in our Christmas Eve festivities. This specific dish I’m sharing today was one that my mom would make my brother and I when we were growing up. Linguine with White Clam Sauce. We’d use any pasta and the sauce…you better believe it came from a can!Read More
