Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in liquid from clams, parsley, white wine, basil, and salt; simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in clams until heated through. Add cooked linguine pasta; toss to combine and serve warm.
