This tastes like linguine I've eaten in Italian restaurants. It is quick and easy, and has become a favorite in our house.

1/3 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 leeks, washed and chopped,including greens
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon white pepper

  • Watch it carefully, stir it and make sure it does not burn.
  • Reduce heat to medium and stir in clams with juice.
