Garnish with fresh clams, if desired. NOTES : This inventive soup
combines the ingredients of two trattoria classics: minestrone (which
is made differently in every trattoria according to family tradition)
and white clams with garlic and pasta. Ladle soup into individual soup
bowls; sprinkle with cheese.
