Ingredients

1 pound linguini
Salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 4 turns of the pan
6 fillets flat anchovies, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine, 2 turns of pan
1 (15-ounce) can whole baby clams, with their juice
Handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and the linguini and cook to an extra chewy al dente, 7 minutes or so. The linguini will continue to cook in sauce, later.

To a large skillet heated over medium heat, add oil, anchovies, garlic, thyme and red pepper flakes. Cook together until anchovies melt into oil and break up completely. Add wine to the pan and give the pan a shake. Add clams and their juice. Drain pasta and add it to the clam sauce. Toss and coat the pasta in sauce with clams until the pasta absorbs the flavor and juices, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt, add parsley and serve.

Needs more sauce!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

It was very good - we left out the anchovies and halved the recipe. Could have added some cheese and it definitely needed... more sauce - maybe a clam broth? Added some parsley, and two cans of chopped clams instead of whole., but altogether very delicious! we love spicy things, so we kept the red pepper the same and actually added some Sriracha sauce too! Cheers!Read more

YUM!!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I love how easy this recipe is! Great for when you don't feel like slaving over the stove for hours. Be careful not to... let the pasta sit in the sauce for too long, I made that mistake and the dish came out a little "starchy" and sticky. I agree with the person who said that a little butter and lemon juice would give the sauce extra flavor. I would also only use 1/4 tsp of thyme and 1/4 tsp of red pepper flakes the next time. All in all, it was delicious and I will definitely make it again!Read more

Too much hot pepper!

That was the verdict from my guests. Would have been fine without it. I also would back off on the thyme.

Thyme was too strong. Not enough "broth" for me.
