Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook according to package directions and drain. While the pasta cooks, make the sauce.
In another large (I do mean large) sauce pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onions. Saute until translucent about 6 minutes or so. Add the garlic and cook about 30 seconds or just until you smell it.
Add the chicken broth (you can use water or vegetable stock, too), the liquid from the clams (save the clams for last) salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer and reduce by half–about 6 to 7 minutes or so.
Add the drained pasta to the sauce. Stir to coat and let the two cook together about 4 minutes. Add the lemon juice and stir to combine. Add the clams, cheese and bread crumbs and cook 4 to 5 more minutes until most of the liquid from the bottom of the pan is absorbed. Serve hot with some crusty french bread.
