Clams casino Spaghetti

This easyclams casino spaghetti is a fusion between the classic appetizer, clams casino,and clams and linguine or in this case spaghetti.  This dish came about when I was planning tomake a quick spicy red clam sauce when I thought a red bell pepper might be anice contrast to the hot peppers the sauce. And then I thought that a little maybe adding a little bacon would bringthe flair of clams casino to the dish.  What a fantastic combination.  You can't go wrong when you start out with a classic combination of flavors.  But the best part about this one is that most of the ingredients comestraight from the pantry shelves.   Whocouldn’t use a few good recipes like this for those times when unexpectedguests drop by.
