Spaghetti With White Clam Sauce

Modified from my father's recipe. Quick recipe for mid-week dinner. Easy to modify, fresh basil and thyme are great additions. The red pepper flakes make it too spicy for some, reduce to a small pinch for milder sauce. Doesn't freeze well as onions will become too soft.
