📝 Preparation Steps
1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about ⏱️ 1 minute, just until fragrant.

2
Pour in the white wine and let it cook for 1–⏱️ 2 minutes, until it reduces by half.
3
Add the tomatoes and use a wooden spoon to break them into large chunks. Simmer uncovered for about ⏱️ 5 minutes.
4
Add the clams to the pot and toss them in the sauce to coat. Increase the heat to high, cover the pot, and cook for about ⏱️ 5 minutes.
5
Remove the lid and, using tongs, transfer any opened clams to a serving bowl. Continue checking and transferring opened clams until all are done. If any clams remain closed, cover and cook for a few more minutes. Discard any that still won’t open.
6
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the butter, one piece at a time, until fully incorporated.
7
Crumble in the blue cheese and stir gently—some of the cheese should melt into the sauce, but leave plenty of chunks for texture. Stir in half of the basil.
8
Pour the sauce over the clams, then top with the remaining fresh basil. Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.
