   In a large saucepan, heat the oil with the garlic over moderate heat. When
   the garlic sizzles, add the fish stock, wine, and oregano.
   
   As soon as the liquid comes to a boil, add the clams and cover the pan.
   Steam the clams until all of them have opened, 3 to 5 minutes; discard any
   unopened clams. With a slotted spoon, remove them from the pan and keep
   them warm in a covered bowl.
   
   Stir in the remaining ingredients, except the black pepper, into the
   liquid in the pan. As soon as the liquid returns to a simmer, place the
   clams, shells and all, on top of pasta and spoon the liquid over them.
   Season to taste with black pepper.
