Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet, add onions and chile pepper flakes, and sweat until onion is soft (do not brown).
- Add garlic and parsley and saute for another minute or two, until garlic aroma is apparent.
- Add reserved clam juice, and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Add whipping cream and simmer over low heat until hot, but do not let come to a boil.
- Add drained clams and heat until warm. Do not overcook at this point or your clams will get tough and rubbery - cook just until until well heated.

- Enjoy with your crusty bread dipped in the juice!
AMAZING WHITE CLAM SAUCE
I got this recipe from an old boyfriend, and have modified it over the years. My husband and I have this at least every two weeks with a big loaf of garlic bread. It's very easy, but very delicious and filling.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and red pepper flakes, and cook stirring constantly until onion is tender. Add garlic, and cook for a couple of minutes, just until fragrant. Pour in the reserved clam juice, and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
- Gradually stir the half-and-half cream into the skillet, and simmer for another 20 minutes, but do not boil. At this time, I like to prepare my linguine and garlic bread.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente.
- Add clams to the sauce, and cook just until clams are heated through, or they will become tough and chewy. Remove from heat, and serve over linguine pasta. Top with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Steps:
- MELT BUTTER WITH OLIVE OIL IN LARGE HEAVY SKILLET OVER MEDIUM HEAT.
- ADD GARLIC AND SAUTE ABOUT 1 MIN.
- QUICKLY BLEND IN FLOUR WITH WIRE WHISK.
- GRADUALLY STIR IN REMAINING INGREDIENTS.

Tips:
- Use fresh clams: Fresh clams have a briny, sweet flavor that canned clams can't match. If you can, buy live clams and shuck them yourself.
- Purge the clams: Before cooking, purge the clams to remove any sand or grit. Place the clams in a bowl of cold water and let them sit for 30 minutes. Change the water a few times during this process.
- Don't overcook the clams: Clams are delicate and can easily become tough if overcooked. Cook them just until they open, about 5 minutes.
- Use a good quality white wine: The white wine you use in the sauce will make a big difference in the final flavor. Choose a dry white wine with a crisp acidity, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
- Add some spice: If you like a little spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the sauce.
- Serve with crusty bread or pasta: White clam sauce is traditionally served with spaghetti or linguine, but it can also be served with crusty bread or grilled vegetables.
Conclusion:
White clam sauce is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover clams. With its briny, sweet flavor and tender clams, this sauce is sure to please everyone at the table.
