Ingredients:

Serving

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3/4 tsp dried hot red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup bottled clam juice
1 lb linguine
2 lb small cockles (up to 1 inch across; 5 to 6 dozen), scrubbed well
2 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
accompaniments: extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling ; dried hot red pepper flakes

Directions:

Heat oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion, stirring, until golden, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, red pepper flakes, and oregano and cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in wine and clam juice and boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes.
Cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot ofboiling salted water until al dente, then drain in a colander.
While pasta is cooking, stir cockles into sauce and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until cockles open wide, 4 to 6 minutes. (Discard any cockles that have not opened after 6 minutes.) Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted.
Add pasta to cockles along with parsley and salt to taste, then toss with sauce until combined well.
Cooks' note: You can substitute bottled baby clams in the shell for the cockles. They're available at some Italian markets and by mail order from D. Coluccio & Sons (718-436-6700). Stir clams into sauce and cook until just heated through.
