I scaled back for 1 serve and as I was using frozen clams in their shells I used 12 ounces and I also used fresh tomato (5 ounces) and added some of the pasta water to thicken the sauce which only took a few minutes and then put the clams in and they opened within 2 minutes bar one which got discarded and the end result when served over the linguine was absolutely delicious and took just under 15 minutes to cook. Thank you celticevergreen, made for Alphabet Soup tag game.
