Directions:
- Wash and dry the clams and soak them in a large bowl in cold, salted water for about 30 minutes.
- Any remaining sand should fall to the bottom of the bowl.
- Drain the clams and rinse them well in a colander under running water.
- Crush one clove of garlic, and slice the remaining cloves very thin.
- In a large, heavy pan, sauté the crushed garlic until it begins to brown, then remove from the pan and discard.
- Add the remaining sliced garlic and the parsley.
- Cook over very low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the tomatoes and enough liquid to just make a slightly soupy dish.
- You don't want too much liquid in this, but judge the amount to your taste.
- Season with the salt and pepper, then raise the heat to medium and cook for 15 minutes.
- (Add more liquid if necessary).
- Add the clams, lower the heat again, cover pan, and let steam for about 10 minutes, or until the shells have opened and the clams are ready.
- Discard any unopened clams.
- Sprinkle with more freshly ground pepper and the basil, if desired.
- (You can substitute a teaspoon of dried if you wish).
- Serve in shallow bowls with slices of bread for dunking.
