Recipe Instructions

Rinse the clams under cold water. Drain and set aside.

Heat oil in a large pot over low heat. Add the garlic and cook for 3 minutes, until golden. Add the wine and clam juice; simmer until the flavors meld, 5 minutes.

Add the clams, cover and steam, shaking the pot occasionally, until they open, about 8 minutes. Discard any that do not 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.

Divide the linguine among 4 shallow pasta bowls and top with the clam sauce. Serve immediately.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
