Preparation
- Step 1
Wash clams; then, place them in a pot with ½ cup water and steam over medium high heat until clams begin to open. Remove clams from shells. Discard any that do not open. Save liquid. Coarsely chop clams, and set aside.
- Step 2
In a wide skillet, heat olive oil and brown the garlic in it; do not allow garlic to burn. Remove browned garlic from the oil, and discard. To the skillet, add tomatoes, basil, parsley, oregano, salt and hot pepper flakes. Cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Step 3
Add the clams and the reserved liquid, and continue to cook over moderate heat for about three minutes.
- Step 4
In the meantime, cook the linguine for six minutes. Drain thoroughly. Add the linguine to the sauce in the skillet; turn up the heat and continue cooking, tossing constantly until the sauce saturates the pasta and the pasta is done

I've cooked this recipe three times, each with great success. I use extra olive oil, lots of garlic and other required ingredients (especially red chili flakes) for a heavily flavored pasta. Simple to make, wonderful to taste - my son's favorite.
Very solid. Doubled the clams. Thank you very much
