The other day we were forecast to get some snow. So, my wife and I decided we'd spend the day inside cooking and watching a movie. So, first we opened up the Carmine's Family Style Cookbook and made a batch of their marinara sauce and a double batch of their meatballs. We have made them before but, wow, did they come out insanely amazing this time. I pan fried them until they had a nice crispy outside and then dumped them in the sauce to cook for a while longer. When I bit into one it was moist and tender and soft. God I love those things. Then, later on for dinner that night I made linguine with white clam sauce using an epicurious recipe. I had bought the clams and might have eaten the meatballs instead but didn't want the clams to go bad. All but one clam opened and the sauce was incredible. I'm not the biggest fan of the dish but it's my wife's favorite so that's why I decided to make it. I followed the recipe except for one thing. I doubled the garlic from 6 cloves to 12. Had some leftovers today for lunch and it was yummy.
