Preparation

Step 1

Mix almonds, chives, parsley, and 1 tablespoon
oil in a small bowl; season with salt and
pepper. Set aside.

Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil in a large
pot over medium heat. Cook garlic and red
pepper flakes, stirring occasionally, until
garlic is softened, about 2 minutes. Add wine,
bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by
half, about 2 minutes.

Add clams and increase heat to
medium-high; cover pot. Cook, shaking pot
occasionally, until clams have opened,
5–8 minutes (discard any that do not open).

Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot
of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally,
until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta
cooking liquid.

Add pasta and 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid
to clams and toss to coat. Cook, tossing and
adding more cooking liquid as needed, until
sauce coats pasta, about 2 minutes; season
with salt and pepper.

Serve linguine and clams topped with
reserved almond-herb mixture.
