Add thyme and wine. Reduce wine 1 minute. Add clam juice or stock, clam juice will give the dish a stronger clam flavor, chicken stock will give it a buttery personality. Stir in clams and lemon zest. Drain pasta. Add to skillet and toss with sauce 2 to 3 minutes, until pasta is al dente and has absorbed some of the sauce and flavor. Add parsley, pepper and salt, to your taste and serve with bread for mopping up remaining juices.

- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and red pepper flakes, and cook stirring constantly until onion is tender. Add garlic, and cook for a couple of minutes, just until fragrant. Pour in the reserved clam juice, and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
- Gradually stir the half-and-half cream into the skillet, and simmer for another 20 minutes, but do not boil. At this time, I like to prepare my linguine and garlic bread.

Steps:
- Melt butter in heavy skillet over med/low heat.
- Add whole clams with juice, and garlic. Cook over low heat until clams are heated through and edges begin to curl.
- Remove clams. Add the bottle of clam juice, white wine and heavy cream. Cook about 10 min to reduce slightly. This sauce will be thin. You want a bit of broth in your dish.
- Remove garlic cloves
- Add clams back into sauce and toss with your preferred pasta. I usually use fettuccini
- Note: I often like to add a chopped tomato to this sauce. You would add the tomato after the 10 min cooking time, just to warm the chopped tomato.

PASTA WITH WHITE WINE CLAM SAUCE
This is a light, delicious clam sauce in a white wine sauce. I used 1/2 of a very large (51 oz) can of chopped clams, which I bought at a warehouse store, and a moderately good white wine. I used the hollow tubed thick spaghetti, perciatelli, so the flavor of the sauce permeates the pasta. Prepare your ingredients for the sauce while the water is boiling. After the water for pasta is boiling, this recipe takes only minutes to put together. I adapted this recipe from one given to me by a friend whose mother was an embassy chef.

WHITE CLAM SAUCE
Most white clam sauces have butter in them, but a healthier (and just as tasty!) option is to simply use a little bit of olive oil and the clam juice in the can. You'll love this recipe just as much as those butter laden ones, or at least I do. Clams are high in iron too!

Steps:

Tips:
- Use fresh clams whenever possible. Fresh clams have a briny, sweet flavor that canned clams can't match. If you can't find fresh clams, use frozen clams instead.
- Soak the clams in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to remove any grit or sand from the clams.
- Use a large pot to cook the clams. This will give the clams plenty of room to open up.
- Bring the clams to a boil over medium heat. Once the clams have come to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened.
- Discard any clams that do not open. These clams are likely to be dead and should not be eaten.
- Serve the clams immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
White clam sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on pasta, seafood, or vegetables. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a white clam sauce that will impress your friends and family.
