Preparation:
Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until almost tender. Add broccoli and cook until pasta is tender but still firm to bite and broccoli is crisp-tender. Drain.
Meanwhile combine clams, wine, oregano and bay leaf in heavy large saucepan. Bring to boil. Cover and cook until clams open, shaking pan occasionally, about 8 minutes. Discard any clams that do not open.
Toss pasta with oil, thyme and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Top with clams and serve.
