Preparation
- Slice the garlic and chop the fresh thyme. Combine with wine in a pot large enough for all ingredients.
- Scrub clams and add to pot. Bring to a boil and cook until the clam shells open. As they open, remove them from the pot and set aside. Continue cooking broth until it is reduced by half.
- Bring water to a boil for the linguine in a covered pot.
- Wash and trim the tomatoes, and cut in half. Squeeze out the seeds. Chop tomatoes in a food processor or with a knife. When the broth has been reduced, add the fish stock or clam juice and chopped tomatoes, and cook over high heat, continuing to reduce the liquid slightly.
- Cook the linguine according to package directions.
- Remove the clams from their shells, and pour any reserved liquid from them into the pot.
- Wash and dry basil, and cut into thin strips.
- Drain the pasta, and add to the sauce with the clams; stir to blend, and serve topped with basil.
