Method

3 steps

  1. 1

    Pinch or two of salt into large pot of water and bring to boil, and add pasta. While pasta cooks, in a saute pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes, cook two minutes, then add clams, cover and reduce heat to low. Cook shaking pan occasionally until clams open and release their juices, about five minutes. When pasta is done, drain and transfer to serving platter, pour the clam mixture over pasta and sprinkle with salt and pepper, and top off with fresh parsley. Taste for salt and serve when it looks done — give the pan a minute to get hot.
