In a large stainless-steel frying pan, cook the strips of bacon over moderate heat until almost crisp.

-
Reduce the heat to moderately low. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the wine.
-
Stir in the bacon, tomatoes, and clam juice and bring to a simmer. Cook, partially covered, for 10 minutes. Add the clams, parsley, salt, and red-pepper flakes and simmer for 30 seconds longer.

Do not cook the clams too long or they will toughen. Taste the sauce and add more salt if needed.
-
In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the linguine for about 12 minutes, until just done.
-
Return the pasta to the hot pot. Add the sauce and let sit 2 to 3 minutes so that the pasta absorbs some of the liquid.
