Sardinian Couscous with Clams and Tomatoes

Fregola is a small, round Sardinian pasta resembling Israeli couscous. The dried spheres have been toasted, which gives them a firm texture and a savory, nutty flavor when they are cooked. Serve this dish in shallow bowls with crusty bread to soak up the broth.
