Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the crème fraîche and horseradish and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and add the snap peas. Cook until almost tender, 2-3 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon, leaving the water behind to cook the pasta. Run cold water over them to stop the cooking, or shock in an ice batch. Leave the pot on the heat.
Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the sausage and break up into chunks in the skillet. Cook, stirring only occasionally, until well-browned and nearly cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the linguine to the boiling water and cook until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
Meanwhile, add the fennel, onion, and shallot to the sausage and cook until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the sambal or other chile paste and cook for an additional minute.
Add the wine to the skillet and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan, bringing the wine to a simmer.
Add the clams and cover the skillet with a tight fitting lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until the clams are opened, 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the cooked pasta and the snap peas to the pan and toss well to combine.
Add a little pasta water if it seems dry. Just before serving, add the crème fraîche and season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss well to combine and serve immediately.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Muscadet, Riesling
Clams on the menu? Try pairing with Chardonnay, Muscadet, and Riesling. Buttery chardonnay is great for scallops, shrimp, crab, and lobster, while muscadet is a classic pick for mussels, oysters, and clams. If you've got some spice in your shellfish, a semi-dry riesling can balance out the heat. One wine you could try is Rochioli Estate Chardonnay. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 42 dollars.

Rochioli Estate Chardonnay
This wine is a fine example of the unique characteristics from the Rochioli property and the Russian River Valley. Aromas of ripe apple, tropical fruit, hazelnut and a touch of spice combine with the rich apple flavors and crisp acidity.
