Lemon garlic linguine and clams have been on of my favorite pasta dishes to make lately. Typically you would have a clam dish in the summer but I tried this recipe in September and have been obsessed with it since! White wine sauces with tons of garlic will always be my go-to when it comes to pasta and seafood.
