LINGUINI WITH CLAM SAUCE - BASQUE-STYLE

Steps:

• Start to heat a large pot of salted water on the stove. Have all sauce ingredients prepared in advance.
• Add the linguini to the salted boiling water and cook per package directions to slightly under-cooked.
• While linguini is cooking, in a large skillet over medium high, heat olive oil and add both peppers, onions and leeks and cook for three minutes. Add garlic and cook for one more minute.
• Turn to high and add wine. Cook to reduce the wine slightly, lower heat to medium high and add tomatoes, the juice from the chopped clams, salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, paprika and the tomato paste. Stir and simmer five minutes. If the consistency is too thick, add some or all of the bottle clam juice. The mixture should be very loose but not watery. The pasta will absorb some of the liquid on the next step.
• Add clams and heat just until the sauce is up to temperature then add in cooked drained linguini. (save a little pasta water in case you need to thin down further). Cook just enough so that the pasta is al dente but be careful not to overcook the clams.
• Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese and serve with additional parsley and cheese over each portion.
