   • In a large frying pan over medium heat, heat the extra virgin olive oil.

   • While the sauce is simmering, cook the linguine according to the package directions until al dente.
   • Once cooked, drain the linguine and transfer it to a large serving bowl.

4. Combine and Serve:

   • Pour the prepared clam sauce over the cooked linguine, ensuring that all the pasta is evenly coated.
   • Sprinkle generously with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for a creamy, savory finish.

   • Serve the Clam Linguine immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
