    Ingredients

    • 4 lb little-neck clams
    • 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil
    • 4 lrg garlic cloves peeled, and thinly sliced
    • 1/2 c. dry white wine
    • 1/2 c. bottled clam juice
    • 4 c. diced seeded ripe tomatoes
    • 3 x scallions with 2" of green left on thinly sliced on the diagonal
    • 1/2 c. torn fresh basil leaves
    • 1/2 c. torn tender radicchio leaves Salt to taste Freshly-grnd black pepper to taste
    • 12 ounce linguine pasta cooked according to package instructions

    Directions

    1. Rinse the clams under cool water. Drain and set aside.
    2. Heat oil in a large pot over low heat. Add in the garlic and cook for 3 min, till golden brown. Add in the wine and clam juice; simmer till the flavors meld, 5 min.
    3. Add in the clams, cover and steam, shaking the pot occasionally, till they open, about 8 min. Throw away any which don't open. With a slotted spoon, transfer the clams to a large, shallow serving bowl along with some of their juices. Toss gently with the tomatoes, scallions, basil, radicchio, salt and pepper.
    4. Divide the linguine among 4 shallow pasta bowls and top with the clam sauce. Serve immediately.
    5. This recipe yields 4 servings.
    6. Comments: Watch the garlic so it doesn't burn, but it must color. Throw away outer, tough radicchio leaves and cut out the tough veins. Serve in bowls.
