Always serve with cold Narragansett beer and this recipe actually calls for a light beer.

Ingredients

2 ½ pounds (combined) of linguica and chourico
6 onions, finely chopped
6 cups crushed Kitchen Ready tomatoes
3 cups (or 1 and a half tall boys) Narragansett light beer
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons red pepper
4 bay leaves
2 tablespoons fresh garlic, pressed
Salt and pepper to taste
2 dozen steamed clams

Directions

Boil meat, cook it and grind it.

Saute onions in oil until soft but not browned. Add meat to the onions along with the tomatoes, beer, and the spices. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until most of the liquid is cooked away so it becomes the consistency of a stew rather than a soup.

Cook up pasta (enough for 12). Put it in a showy bowl. Ladle sauce over it and surround it with the clams.
