Assuredly there is but one way in which to achieve what is not merely difficult but utterly against human nature: to love those who hate us, to repay their evil deeds with benefits, to return blessings for reproaches. It is that we remember not to consider men's evil intention but to look upon the image of God in them, which cancels and effaces their transgressions, and with its beauty and dignity allures us to love and embrace them.

INGREDIENTS

6		Garlic cloves; crushed
1/4	c	Olive oil
2	c	Peeled; crushed tomatoes
1	ts	Pepperoncini
18		Littleneck clams; scrubbed, rinsed
1	lb	Vermicelli
1/2	lb	Sea scallops; quartered
1	tb	Chopped Italian parsley

INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium skillet, cook the garlic in 2 tablespoons of the oil until
lightly browned. Add the tomatoes and pepperoncini and simmer over moderate
heat for 15 minutes. Discard the garlic. Shuck the clams and chop, reserve
liquid. Another option is to place the clams in a medium saucepan with
1/2-inch of water. Cover and steam over moderately-high heat until the
clams open. (Discard any that do not open). Remove and chop the clams.
Strain the liquid from the saucepan and reserve. Cook the vermicelli in a
large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain well. Meanwhile, in
a large non-reactive skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over
high heat. Add the scallops and saute for 2 minutes. Add the chopped clams
with their liquid, the tomato sauce and cook until slightly reduced, about
3 minutes. Stir in the parsley over medium heat. Toss the pasta with half
the sauce, serve, and spoon remaining sauce on top. This recipe yields 6
servings.
