2 large red bell peppers, seeded and chopped

1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Scrub clams; cover with water and vinegar. Let stand 30 minutes; drain and rinse. Prepare pasta according to package directions so that its completion coincides with the rest of preparation. Heat oil and butter in a skillet. Add garlic and hot pepper. Saute gently about 1 minute. Stir in remaining ingredients and clams. Cover and simmer 6 to 10 minutes until clams open. Serve over cooked pasta.

Yield: 4 servings
