Make this for dinner! (and you might become a little shellfish)



Thank you Dr. B for this great recipe! (the workplace is great for sharing)

"Better than Anthony's Home Port!" - fc

1/2 lb Bacon - Sliced in 1 inch long pieces
1 medium onion (I used a walla walla sweet) - chopped
3 Garlic Cloves (I used more, but I like tasty sauce)
2.5 lbs tomatoes - Chopped (I used fresh Roma tomatoes and blended them)
4 cups baby spinach (packed)
3.5 lbs clams (last night featured Manilla Clams and Mussels for variety)
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (I upped this to ~2 tsp, without any adverse effects)
salt to taste (not really needed thanks to the bacon)

Heat Bacon in heavy (large) pot until starts to brown (if you have dogs, this is when they start to drool)
Add onion, garlic, and pepper flakes - cook until onions take on a golden brown
Add tomatoes, cook until tomatoes break down to form sauce (I let it reduce a bit at this point, though the recipe doesn't call for that)
Add Clams, mix, cover... Cook till clams open (5-7 min)
Add baby spinach, mix and cook until wilted (about a min)

Eat with bread or angel hair pasta. Basically finger food, eat the clams, and pile the sauce onto the bread. You won't be disappointed!
