Little Neck Clams with Sauvignon Blanc

I've not cooked this in a couple of months. It was Coda's favorite dish and she especially loved the linguine soaked noodles with lemon, wine, Italian parsley and capers. After spending the day hanging with the dogs I felt it was time. A cooking wine should not be expensive - I used a tropical Sauvignon Blanc with hints of grapefruit. My train of thought is it would complement the lemons.
I always keep fresh lemons on hand for cooking. The other item I'm fond of using is fresh parsley or basil. Fresh herbs are used to aid digestion and since I've used this method I tend to feel better and in general from any food consumption. For instance, yesterday when I was at the dog show I ate a plate of hot delicious onion rings. I made sure when I got home to kick up the herbs to an almost green looking sauce. Use whatever amount you prefer but I grab a handful or 2 and chop to a fine consistency.

Saute the first 2 ingredients in olive oil or butter:
3 garlic cloves
5 scallions
Then add the rest of the list:
1.5 lemons
1.5 C of white wine
Fresh Italian parsley
Parmesan cheese for topping
T of capers (optional)

I served the Sauvignon Blanc with the dish and it made my mouth water.

Hope your having a wonderful weekend!
