3 cans (6.5 ounces each) chopped clams

1. Cook linguine 11 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

2. Meanwhile, heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 5 minutes.

3. Strain liquid from clams and add liquid to skillet, reserving clams. Add parsley, oregano, basil, pepper flakes, salt and pepper to pan. Simmer 5 minutes then stir in clams; cook 2 minutes. Stir into pasta in pot; toss to mix. Cover to keep warm.
