Spaghetti alle Vongole

Step 1

In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the garlic and chile pepper in the olive oil until the garlic is golden brown, about 1 minute.

Step 2

Add the clams, clam juice and wine. Cover and simmer over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally until all the clams open.

Step 3

While the clams are simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring frequently, until al dente.

Step 4

Drain the pasta and transfer to a large bowl. Add the clam sauce and parsley and toss well. Serve immediately.
