Steps:
- Buy your clams the same day you intend to cook them. This ensures that you will have as few dead clams as possible.
- Store your clams in the fridge in a colander, covered loosely with a damp paper towel.
- Chop the tomatoes in a food processor until they are finely diced (not yet pasty).
- Heat 3 tbsp oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic and red pepper and cook for about a minute.
- Add the tomatoes and sugar to taste (about 1/2 tsp). Simmer for at least 1/2 hour, preferably for a whole hour.
- Preheat the oven to 315 degrees. Slice your bread to 1/2 inch thickness. Spread a little olive oil on each slice. Toast in the oven for 10 minutes.
- If necessary, scrub and de-beard your clams. Any clams that have broken shells must be thrown out. Any shells that are open and will not close when tapped on the counter must be thrown out.
- Food process the onion until it is finely diced.
- Put 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet that has a lid. Heat, then add onion and cook about 3 minutes. Do not brown.
- Add the sprigs of parsley and thyme to the pan and cook another 30 seconds, then add the wine. Boil, then simmer 5 minutes.
- Add the clams that did not get thrown out. Cover, turn the heat to high and cook 5-8 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Shake the pan frequently to stir, but do not take off the lid.
- After clams have opened, remove from heat. Throw out any clams that did not open (they were dead before you started cooking).
- Strain the cooking liquid into the tomato sauce. Throw out the sprigs and the onion.
- Place toasted bread in a ring around the outside of the serving bowl. Place the clams in the middle of the bowl and pour the tomato sauce over them.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and thyme.

LINGUINE WITH CLAMS, ROASTED TOMATOES AND CARAMELIZED GARLIC
Here is a very cool recipe that calls for roasting cherry tomatoes with garlic and oil, then using that mixture as the base of a pasta sauce heavy with clams. The juxtaposition of the slick linguine with the roasted, caramelized tomatoes and garlic, as well as the soft, briny clams, is an uncommon delight. Work hard to make sure not to overcook the pasta, so that it may finish in the sauce.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Smash and peel 8 garlic cloves; peel and finely chop the remaining 6. Toss the smashed garlic with the tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of oil, fine sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread the tomatoes out in a layer in one or two baking pans (make sure they aren't too crowded, so they don't steam) and roast tomatoes, tossing occasionally, until bursting, 15 to 20 minutes.
- In a large pot of heavily salted boiling water, cook the pasta until it is 2 minutes from being done to taste. Drain.
- Return the pasta pot to medium-high heat. Warm 4 tablespoons oil in the pot. Add the chopped garlic and red pepper flakes; cook for 30 seconds. Add the wine and let simmer 2 minutes. Stir in the roasted tomatoes and garlic. Add the clams. Cover the pot and cook until the clams open, 5 to 10 minutes. Use tongs to transfer open clams to a bowl; discard any that do not open.
- Add the pasta and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper to the sauce in the pot. Cook, tossing, until pasta is just cooked through. Return the clams to the pot and toss with the pasta. Divide mixture among serving bowls. Garnish with mint and drizzle with more oil.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large saute pan with a tight-fitting lid over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes and saute until fragrant; don't let the garlic brown. Add the cherry tomatoes, white wine and clams, increase the heat to high and cover the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the clams have opened, about 8 minutes. As the clams open, transfer them to a large bowl. When all the clams are removed, reduce the heat to medium-low and swirl in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package direction. Using tongs, transfer the linguine to the saute pan with the clam juice and toss to coat. Turn off the heat and add the clams and any juices that have collected in the bowl, the lemon zest and half of the basil. Using tongs, turn the linguine to coat it with the sauce. Top with the remaining basil. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh clams: Fresh clams have a briny, sweet flavor that is essential to this dish. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but be sure to thaw them completely before cooking.
- Purge the clams: Before cooking, purge the clams by soaking them in cold water for 30 minutes. This will help to remove any sand or grit from the clams.
- Use a flavorful white wine: The white wine in this recipe helps to create a flavorful sauce. Choose a dry white wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
- Don't overcook the clams: Clams are delicate and will toughen if they are overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender, about 5 minutes.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the clams are still tender and the sauce is hot.
Conclusion:
Linguine with clams in tomato-herb sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. It is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its briny, sweet clams, flavorful sauce, and tender pasta, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
