- 3. Remove the clams to a bowl with a slotted spoon; reserve. Add the lemon juice and chopped shallots to the pot. Cook for 1 minute to meld the flavors in the sauce. Stir in the butter, tomatoes, and chopped tarragon leaves.
- 4. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until just tender. Drain well and mix with the sauce in the pot. Add the clams and chopped parsley; toss together over low heat to warm through. Serve in a large pasta bowl.
