Well, I know this isn't traditional but I always add a little sour cream or creme fresh, or cream to make the sauce a bit creamy and then let each person add a bit of parm to the top. I also add basil. I am making this dish tonight and will definitely try the anchovies and the thymne. We love clam linguine and it ia a go to dish when we are in a hurry. We usually just serve a green veggie on the side.

I loved how easy and fast it was to make this all time favorite dish! I too used Trader Joe's Two Buck Chuck Chardonnay and tossed it with Mizithra. In my variation of the recipe I used half the olive oil and added that same amount of butter. Then added a handful or two of chopped kale to the melted butter, olive oil & garlic and then added a tablespoon of water to create,steam, covered it for a few minutes until the kale was bright green. Then added the clams, pasta, etc.. The kale added a sweet brussel sprout flavor to the dish...

Thanks Rachel for another great quick & easy recipe!

Remember, this is Rachel's recipe, and its fine to follow, for 1st time.
I used the full pound of Linguini
I used 4-cans of minced clams, using the juice. I also added a bottle of clam juice.
I use as much garlic as I like, but taste as I go. I used about 12-cloves, lol.
I also added white wine, 1-1/2-2-cups.
I like onion, so I chopped one medium, and added to sauce, with 1/2-cup Ex. Virgin Olive oil.
I prefer my sauce a little thicker, so I added flour, about 1/2-cup to start.
Then I add more as needed.
As with all my cooking, to taste, I added the anchovies. Paste is fine, just don't over do.
Don't be afraid to use what you like, its your meal, your taste.
I get creative, but keep it simple.
Put out the Parmesan for those who wish to add it themselves.
I am Italian, I like good tasting food and wine.
Keep a chilled bottle of White Zinfandel on hand. Its inexpensive and a great wine.
Yes, I know its a poor man's drink, but I am an Italian peasant, lol!
Bona Appetit.

I used whole grain pasta, and didn't have any white wine on hand, so I used a splash of rice vinegar, it turned out quite tasty, will make again.

This was an easy, fast and budget friendly dish. I got the $2.99 wine from Trader Joe's. I was skeptical at first, but I like the anchovies, as it gave it a little depth. The red pepper flakes also gave it a little kick.
