Salt
1 pound linguine
3 tablespoons EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil)
5 to 6 anchovies
1 red onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 pint small cherry tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

A handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
Black pepper
1 cup dry white wine
3 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
3 pounds Manila clams, scrubbed
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt the water, and cook the pasta to just shy of al dente.
2
While the water comes to a boil, heat the EVOO in a large pot over medium to medium-high heat.
3
Add the anchovies and melt them into the oil.
4
Add the onions, garlic, and tomatoes to the pot and season with the red pepper flakes, oregano, parsley, and black pepper to taste.
5
Saute until the tomatoes burst and the onions are soft, 8 to 10 minutes.
6
Add the wine and reduce for 1 to 2 minutes, then melt the butter into the sauce and add the clams.
7
Cover the pot and cook the clams until they open, 6 to 7 minutes.
8
Discard any unopened clams and add the pasta to the pot.
9
Toss the linguine with the sauce for 2 to 3 minutes so the pasta absorbs the flavors.
10
Add the basil, taste to adjust the seasonings, and serve.
