For a richer flavor, consider using fresh clams instead of canned. Steam them open and reserve the clam juice. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end can brighten the sauce. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference for spice. If you want more seafood, consider adding shrimp or scallops.
