Spaghetti with Clams
Tidbits...spaghetti with clams is synonymous with summertime at the seashore. I am lucky to live in a beautiful town that is close to places that I love. The sun is always shining and the seashore is only an hour drive, in the winter the mountains for snow skiing are an hour in the other direction and of course there is Rome, truly spectacular all times of the year which is also only an hour away.
