Pasta Casino
Serves 4

1 lb linguine
4 slices bacon, diced
1 med green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
3 clove garlic, minced
1 can baby clams, undrained 11 oz
1 cup chicken broth
2 bay leaves
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
salt and black pepper to taste
4 ounce chunk aged Asiago cheese

Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set
aside. While the pasta is cooking, cook the bacon in a large skillet
over medium heat until crisp. Add the bell pepper and garlic and
cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the clams with
their liquid from the can, the broth, and the bay leaves, bring to
a simmer, and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the bay leaves, stir
in the linguine, and toss to combine. Remove from the heat, stir
in the parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a
serving platter and, using a vegetable peeler, shave the cheese
over the top of the pasta right before serving.
