1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

3. Step 3: Add the white wine and clam juice to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes until reduced slightly.
4. Step 4: Stir in the parsley, basil, lemon juice, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Step 5: Add the clams to the skillet, cover with a lid, and cook for 3-5 minutes until the clams open.
6. Step 6: Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to combine with the clam sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water.
7. Step 7: Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
