- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season with Kosher salt and cook linguine until just al dente. Drain and set aside.

- Add sake and clam stock and allow the liquid to reduce for about three minutes. Stir in the red chili paste.
- Add clams to the pan, cover and let cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the clams open up. Discard any unopened clams.
