We make fresh linguine together with a special sauce.
The clams will be hand in hand with the crunchy asparagus, allies of health.
Features:
Asparagus are sprouts with herbaceous stems without thorns and should be picked as soon as the shoots sprout. They have excellent nutritional properties containing potassium and are an excellent source of vitamin. C (ascorbic acid), carotenoids (pro-vit. A) and some of group B.
In addition, both the edible bud and the roots of the plant (in decoction), significantly stimulate renal filtration. 
Historical background:
The first asparagus crops originate in the Eden valley (Mesopotamia), spreading then in ancient Egypt and Asia Minor over 2000 years ago, and then throughout the Mediterranean.
The Romans already from 200 B.C. in their manuals mentioned the asparagus, and detailed the cultivation. Asparagus was mentioned and accurately described, not only the method of cultivation but also of preparation by Pliny and Apicius.
