Submitted by Adam Candee on Friday, March 16th, 12:43 pm

Curtas: seafood and pasta make a happy marriage.

ELV is a sucker for linguine with clams….especially when the linguine is big, fat-flat strands of al dente pasta swimming in a soothing white wine and butter sauce, with not too much garlic, and adorned with an array of small, sweet clams, both shelled and not.
