Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water; drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and chili and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the wine and cook for 1 minute. Add the clams, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper and cook, covered, until the clams open, 6 to 8 minutes. (Discard any clams that remain closed.)
  3. Add the clam mixture, ½ cup of the reserved cooking water, and ¼ teaspoon salt to the pasta and cook over medium heat, tossing gently, until the sauce is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes (add more cooking water if the pasta seems dry). Serve sprinkled with the parsley.

Quick Tip

Clams
To make sure your clams are alive and fresh, tap each one against your work surface. A live clam will close up tight and is safe to eat. Discard any that remain open.
