I've been making this recipe for a few years now and it has become an Easter menu tradition alongside the ham. Delicious and easy!

This was so delicious. I increased everything half again just to get a little more clam deliciousness to go with my pound of linguine. I forgot the Parmesan cheese, but honestly, it wasn't missed because this dish was so good. I'll definitely remember it next time, though.
