--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1       lb           Plum tomatoes (about 6)
   1       md           Onion
   2       tb           Butter
   2       tb           Olive oil
   3       cl           Garlic
   2       tb           Flour
   8       oz           Clam juice
     1/2   ts           Salt
     1/4   ts           Pepper
     1/2   lb           Spaghettini
     1/4   lb           Fresh spinach
   6       oz           Clams
     2/3   c            Parmesan

  Bring large pot of water to boil.

  Coarsely chop the tomatoes and onion. In large skillet, warm the
  butter and oil over medium-high heat until the butter melts. Add
  the onion and garlic and saute until the onion just begins to
  brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in the flour, and cook, stirring until
  the flour is no longer visible, about 30 seconds.

  Stir in the tomatoes, clam juice, salt and pepper. Bring the liquid
  to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for
  10 minutes.

  Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al
  dente, 10 to 12 minutes, or according to package directions. While
  the pasta and tomato sauce are cooking, stem and roughly chop the
  fresh spinach.

  Bring the tomato sauce to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the
  clams and spinach and cook until the fresh spinach just wilts about
  1 minute.

  Drain the pasta and toss it with the sauce and 1/3 cup of the
  parmesan. Pass remaining parmesan on the side.
