Ingredients:

Serving

1/3 cup olive oil
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 tsp dried hot red-pepper flakes
1 (28- to 32-oz) can whole tomatoes in juice, coarsely chopped
2 tsp sugar
1 lb spaghetti
3 dozen hard-shelled clams such as littlenecks

Directions:

Heat oil in a 12- to 14-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then cook garlic with red-pepper flakes, stirring, until pale golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes with their juice, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and briskly simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 7 to 10 minutes.
Cook spaghetti in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (3 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water) until al dente.
Meanwhile, add clams (in shells) to sauce and cook, covered, shaking skillet occasionally, until clams open wide, 6 to 10 minutes (discard any clams that remain unopened after 10 minutes). Transfer clams (still in shells) as cooked to a large shallow bowl. If sauce is too watery, boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Drain spaghetti. Return clams to sauce and add pasta, tossing
