Mm Local Clam Linguine

Our good friend Ben Mustin runs a food business called Mm Local. Mm Local is an amazing local farm produce canning company. Their food tastes so good you can almost smell the garden. Tonight we decided to experiment with a recipe using MmLocal's Tomato/Basil sauce. Mark made up the recipe, and it was delicious. The recipe is below, and the photos are below that.
