An easy weeknight recipe and an interesting variation on plain tomato sauce. Clam juice adds a nice salty bite without tasting 'fishy,' and lime juice lends brightness.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding some cream.

The sauce was delicious, but the pasta was a little overcooked. Next time, I'll be more careful with the cooking time.
