Shrimp and Clams in Tomato Sauce With Shell Pasta image

If you are a seafood lover then you will love this, please don't omit the anchovy paste, it is what makes the sauce, you won't even know it's there! I suggest to increase the amount of clams, you can also increase the shrimp amount if desired. Linguine can be used in place of the shell pasta if desired, prep time does not include cooked pasta.
