This is a VERY loose interpretation of the steps I took to create this, but just test the sauce as you go and you'll be fine!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb dry linguine (I only used half, next time I'd make 3/4ths)
- 1 15 oz can of minced "fancy" clams in own juices
- 1/4 C dry white wine (I used sauvignon blanc)
- 4 T olive oil
- 1/2 medium white onion, chopped
- 2 T garlic paste
- 2-3 anchovies (I did not use this since I didn't have any, but apparently it's better if you do)
- Parsley, thyme, ground black pepper, ground white pepper, sea salt, crushed red pepper, and parmesan cheese to taste

Directions:
Linguine:
- Boil about 3/4ths of the package of linguine for about 6-7 minutes (it will be slightly undercooked because it will be cooked a bit more when added to the sauce)
- Set aside until sauce is ready for it
Sauce:
- Heat olive oil and garlic in a large sauce pan for about 1 minute
- Add the anchovies, onions and some salt/pepper/parsley/crushed red peppers and stir until anchovies have dissolved into the oil
- Add the white wine and allow to reduce for about 1 minute
- Add the juice from the clams and let simmer for about 5 minutes
- Add clams and any additional amounts of spices to taste, cook about 1 minute
- Add the al dente linguine, cook another 1-2 minutes or until linguine is desired consistency
- Consume.
Yummm....next time, try adding a tablespoon or so of pesto to your clam sauce...it's an excellent addition. Personally, I add pesto to pretty much everything, but with clam sauce it is particularly interesting.
