Heat the olive oil in a heavy bottomed pan. Add the diced garlic, shallots and chili until softened.

Add the diced carrots and celery and cook for about 8 minutes. Deglaze with the prosecco and let it simmer for a while.

Add the vegetable stock and let simmer again on a low heat for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste.

Add the clams to the pan and let them simmer with the lid on for 3-5 minutes until all clams have opened. Discard any clams that have not opened.

At the same time boil the linguine in a generous amount of salt water but make sure it remains firm to the bite “al dente”.

Add pasta to a plate, then top with the clams and clam stock. Serve with fresh parsley and a squirt of lemon juice.
