Ingredients

400g spaghetti, 600g clams, 1 clove garlic, 1 decilitre extra virgin olive oil, chopped parsley, red hot pepper (just a bit, optional), salt.

Procedure

Frizzle garlic and red hot pepper with oil in a wide and low pan. Add well-washed clams, cover and wait until open. Aside, cook spaghetti, and drain them slightly undercooked, add them to clams, sautè everything with chopped parsley. Some people prefer to add little tomatoes cut in halves and sautè aside in a frying pan.
