Steps:
- Bring water to a boil for pasta, salt water and cook pasta just shy of al dente.
- While water comes to a boil, heat extra-virgin olive oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add anchovies and melt into oil. Add tomatoes, onions and garlic to the pan, season with crushed red pepper flakes, oregano, parsley and pepper, saute until the tomatoes and onions are soft, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add wine and reduce for 1 or 2 minutes, melt butter into sauce and add clams to pot. Cover the pot and cook clams until they open, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Remove any unopened clams and add pasta to the pan. Toss linguini with sauce for about 2 to 3 minutes so the pasta absorbs the flavors. Add basil to pasta and taste to adjust seasonings.

MUSSELS AND CLAMS WITH SPICY TOMATO BROTH
A spicy, brothy bowl of mussels and clams is at home in any season. Serve it with thick slices of crusty baguette, toasted and rubbed with raw garlic, for a sensational, simple meal any day of the week. This broth gets its heat from both fresh red peppers like Fresno or serrano chiles, and a dose of pinched red pepper flakes. You control the heat by what kind of pepper you choose - Fresno for subtle heat or serrano for a spicier edge. The wine, however, is not optional. Pinot grigio, both for cooking and drinking, is this broth's best bet.

STEAMED CLAMS WITH SMOKY HARISSA-CUMIN TOMATO SAUCE
Harissa and cumin are a smoky-flavored match made in heaven. They form the base for this tomato sauce that's brightened by lemon zest and the briny flavor of clams. Save any leftover sauce and toss it with pasta the next day.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the leeks and garlic. Season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking apart the garlic with a wooden spoon, until the leeks soften, 3 to 4 minutes-don't let the garlic or the leeks char. Add the cumin seeds and cook, stirring, for a little less than a minute, just to toast. Stir in the harissa and lemon zest, then add the crushed tomatoes and 1 cup of water. Turn the heat up to high, bring to a boil and let boil just until the sauce thickens and reduces slightly, a minute or two. Add the clams, cover and let steam until most of the clams are opened up, 5 to 8 minutes (the stragglers will open in the residual heat). Discard any clams that are still sealed shut.
- Toast bread, if desired, to serve alongside. Top the clams with cilantro.
LINGUINE AND CLAMS WITH FRESH RED SAUCE
This weeknight clam pasta comes together easily under 30 minutes without compromising flavor. Canned whole clams, packed in valuable clam juices, are the pantry hero. Opt for whole canned clams, since they're more tender and delicate than the chopped or minced varieties. The key to achieving the most seafood flavor is finishing the pasta right in the clam sauce, so that the pasta absorbs all of the briny flavors as it cooks. The sauce gets a nice fresh boost from the addition of sweet cherry tomatoes, while Parmesan and butter stirred in at the end create a rich, silky sauce.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta according to package directions until 3 minutes shy of al dente. (It will finish cooking in the sauce; pasta should be toothsome but not crunchy.) Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain pasta.
- Meanwhile, once pasta is cooking, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to pop, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add reserved clam juice (you should have about 1 cup) and stir to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet. Add sauce, pasta, 1/2 cup of the pasta water and the butter back to the large pot, and cook, stirring vigorously, until sauce is thickened and pasta is al dente, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup more pasta water if a thinner sauce is desired.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the clams, cheese and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide pasta among bowls and garnish with cheese, parsley, black pepper and red-pepper flakes, if using.

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.
