Ingredients

10 ounces dried linguine pasta (whole wheat was recommended)

1 cup dry white wine

2 sprigs thyme leaves

1 1/2 pounds Manila or littleneck clams scrubbed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup diced leeks (white and light-green parts from 1 large leek, rinsed well)

1 cup diced fennel (from 1/2 bulb)

1 teaspoon minced garlic (from 2 medium cloves)

1/8 teaspoon saffron threads

1 cup canned crushed tomatoes (seeded and drained)

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat; add the pasta and cook according to package directions. The pasta will be done before the clam mixture is; drain into a large colander and set aside.

Meanwhile, pour the wine into a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Add the thyme and the clams. Cover and cook/steam for 3 to 5 minutes, until the clams have fully opened.

Strain the cooking liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl.

Reserve the clams and discard their shells and the thyme sprigs.

Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the leeks, fennel, garlic and saffron.

Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Add the reserved clam cooking liquid, clams and tomatoes; cook for a few minutes until heated through.

Add the cooked pasta to the pan with the clams; increase the heat to medium-high or high and toss to combine.

Remove from the heat; season with salt and pepper to taste.

Divide among individual bowls and garnish with the parsley.

Serve immediately.
