Linguine Con Vongole With Peas

• 1 lb dry linguine
• 14 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, sliced
• 14 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 lbs clams, scrubbed and rinsed well
• 34 cup dry white wine
• 34 cup clam juice (of your choice, can use crab) or 1 cup seafood stock (of your choice, can use crab)
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 12-23 cup peas
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• salt
• black pepper
• olive oil, extra virgin

1. Prepare the sauce while the pasta is cooking to so that the linguine will be ready when the sauce is almost done.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
3. Do not over cook - al dente.
4. Drain the pasta well.
5. Heat the olive oil over medium flame in a deep pan with a lid.
6. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes; saute for about a minute.
7. Add the clams, wine, clam juice and lemon juice.
8. Cover and cook until clams are just opened shaking perodically, about 5 minutes.
9. Discard any that have not opened.
10. Remove the clams and cover the clams with foil to keep warm.
11. Increase the heat to medium high and reduce the sauce a bit, about 1-2 minute.
12. Add the peas to the pan and heat for 1-2 minute.
13. Add the hot, drained linguine to the pan; add the butter and season with salt and pepper.
14. Toss the pasta for a minute or two so linguine takes in some of the sauce.
15. Divide evenly on the plates and place clams on top.
16. Drizzle olive oil to your taste.
