Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, then add pasta and cook until just undercooked (about a 1 minute short of al dente).
Meanwhile, in large sauté pan over medium-high heat, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil until hot but not smoking. Add garlic and sauté until just golden (about 30 seconds). Add wine, tomatoes, clam juice, and all but a tablespoon of the parsley. Bring to a boil.
Add clams, lower the heat and simmer uncovered, just until clams open, 7 to 8 minutes.
Reserve 1⁄2 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and add to the pan. Simmer, tossing occasionally, until the pasta is just tender (about a minute). If the pasta starts getting a bit dry, add some of the reserved cooking water.
Remove from heat and taste for seasoning. Season to taste. Add the remaining parsley, and drizzle with remaining olive oil, tossing to coat. Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately.
