Serving Ideas : 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.
