Add cream to pan and season with 2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of black pepper. Bring cream mixture to a boil and heat until it begins to thicken. Add clam meat and juice, cooked linguini and juice from ½ a lemon. Stir until linguini is coated and heated through. Transfer to serving bowls and garnish with fresh cracked pepper, if desired. Enjoy!
