--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1       lb           Plum tomatoes (about 6)
   1       md           Onion
   2       tb           Butter
   2       tb           Olive oil
   3       ea           Garlic cloves
   2       tb           Flour
   8       oz           Clam juice
     1/2   ts           Salt
     1/4   ts           Pepper
     1/2   lb           Spaghettini
     1/4   lb           Spinich, fresh
   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 - 12 minutes, or according to
  package directions. While the pasta and tomato sauce
  are cooking, stem and roughly chop the fresh spinich.
  Bring the tomato sauce to a boil over medium-high
  heat. Stir in the clams and spinich and cook until the
  fresh spinich 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.
