Add the eggs and milk and mix well again until all ingredients are amalgamated well and the consistency is firm.

-
In large pot, put some oil and garlic. Once the garlic turns golden add the crushed tomatoes. Add salt and peperoncino to taste.
-
Let the tomatoes come to a boil. Add the juice you saved from when you opened the clams. Let everything boil for about 10 minutes and then gently add the stuffed clams into the sauce. The sauce should completely cover the clams. If necessary add some more sauce.
