The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Just finished eating dinner and wanted to chime in on this recipe. I would definitely say that the amount of pasta is off - use a pound. otherwise, this was really good and full of clams. I didn't find it too liquidy even if you only used 8 oz pasta (the mixture cooks down a bit) and didn't feel it needed anything else.
As written, this recipe produces a dish that is either an incredibly wet "linguine with clams" or a marginally dry "linguine clam soup/stew" -- the amount of liquid is disproportional to the volume of pasta, and it's really watery. I increased the amount of pasta to 1 pound (which is a standard recipe size anyway), and had to increase the amount of butter to 4 tbsp in order to give the sauce some body. Grated pecorino cheese also provided some needed saltiness.
