Pasta with Clams, White Wine and Spicy Italian Sausage that combines briny littleneck clams with fiery spicy Italian sausage in a silky white wine butter sauce. The clams and crumbled sausage are oven-roasted alongside grape tomatoes, fennel seeds, garlic, and fresh thyme at 350°F until the clams pop open and the tomatoes blister. Everything is then tossed with al dente linguine and finished with cold butter, fresh lemon zest and juice, chopped parsley, and a generous shower of grated Pecorino Romano. A rustic, one-pan Italian classic that’s smoky, spicy, briny, and bright — perfect for a weeknight dinner or entertaining guests.
