Linguine with Marechiaro Sauce
Marechiaro is a location in Naples.  The word literally means 'clear sea.'  Dishes that are in
the style of Marechiaro  usually contain fish, clams, or mussels in a tomato sauce seasoned
with garlic and parsley.  This recipe is very similar to linquine with a red clam sauce but it
adds a little more heat.  You many choose to substitute mussels for the clams or add some
squid rings.

1/4 cup white wine
3 tablespoons fresh parsley,chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
Pinch of red pepper flakes

1 pound linguine, cooked

wine, parsley, garlic, basil, and red pepper flakes.  
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
