Linguine Vongole

Would be bucatini — my new love.  I have eaten this variety of pasta in Italian restaurants, but had not seen it in the grocery store until recently.  It is part of the new-ish Giada De Laurentiis line at Target, and it is fantastic.  It’s like a very thick spaghetti with a hole running through the middle, so you can imagine the delight of my children when they discovered how much of a mess they could create while eating this food.  I used this bucatini when trying out my second recipe of 2012 — Allison Fishman’s Linguine Vongole from her book, “You Can Trust a Skinny Cook”.  It is a simple and wonderful clam sauce over pasta.  You simply cannot go wrong with garlic, olive oil, and white wine.  Period.
