Linguini in Red Clam Sauce

July 10, 2013

I was so excited to see fresh clams at the fish counter today. Immediately I thought of my dad. He loves Linguini in Clam Sauce. Cherry tomatoes are in season so I decided to combine the best of both worlds. Serve with a green or Caesar salad and you'll make everyone very happy.

3 pounds live clams in their shells, scrubbed
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon anchovy paste
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 stems oregano,leaves stripped and chopped
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons of butter
8-10 basil leaves torn
black pepper
