Linguine with Clam Sauce image

My mother-in-law, Angie, taught me this recipe. She never measured anything, so I had to experiment to get the combination right. The recipe can be doubled easily. My husband is a huge fan of garlic, so when he makes it he doubles the garlic. Our house needs two days to recover from the smell!
