Linguine With Clams Bacon And Tomato

I got this from our local paper and it is delicious. Make a green salad and some garlic bread and you are done.

In large frying pan , cook the bacon over moderate heat until almost crisp.

Remove bacon with slotted spoon and pour off all but 2 tbs fat.

Add garlic and cook , stirring , for 30 seconds.

Add wine.

Stir in bacon , tomatoes and clam juice and heat to a simmer.

Cook for 10 minutes.

Add the clams , parsley , salt and red-pepper flakes and cook for one minute longer.

In the meantime , boil the linguine until just done , about 12 minutes.

Drain the linguine well and add to the sauce.

Allow the linguine to sit for 2 to 3 minutes to absorb some of the liquid.
