Chicken Spaghetti with White Sauce
This cheesy white sauce is perfect for any pasta but works best with spaghetti or cavatappi. I prefer butcher bacon as it's the best bacon on the planet. Kids attacked the leftover chicken spaghetti with white sauce and ate the bacon and sun-dried tomatoes before I was able to get a photo!

Rhode Island Red Clam Chowder
How can a New Englander love Manhattan over New England clam chowder? Because I like to taste the clams, not just heavy cream with lumps. I came up with this recipe today using what I had on hand, but feel free to improvise. This tastes just like the chowder you get at the beach with clam cakes! When reheating, do not boil or it will 'rubberize' the clams.
