Add chopped onion and cook until softened slightly.

Add garlic and cook briefly.

Pour in a small glass of white wine and stir.

Cover the pan and cook until the clams open.

Once clams are open, reduce heat and remove the lid.

Drain the seafood, reserving the cooking liquor.

Return the pan to the heat and add the reserved cooking liquor.

Add cherry tomato and basil sauce to the pan and stir.

Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens and reduces.
