Chop the onion, celery, 2 cloves of garlic and basil; put them together with oil into a large pan and at moderate heat, slightly fry.
In the meantime peel the tomatoes, soaking them for a while into hot water and, after removed seeds, chop them. Then add to the “soffritto” (sautéed), sprinkle with a pinch of pepper, add wine, stir and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring every now and then.
Drain the clams and wash them again; let them drain.
Clean, wash and chop the parsley.

When done, add and mix the parsley; salt if necessary.
Rub the bread with garlic and place them into the serving dishes; distribute the content of the pan over the bread and serve hot.
