Steps:
- Roasted-Garlic Butter: Mash together butter, garlic confit, and lemon zest. Season with salt. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 2 weeks, or freeze up to 3 months. (Makes 1/2 cup.)
- Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until slightly less than al dente, about 2 minutes less than package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, heat garlic with oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high until just golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, transferring each slice to a plate when browned. Add pepper flakes and tomatoes to skillet; cook until tomatoes soften a bit, about 3 minutes.
- Add wine and bring to a boil; cook until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add clam juice and return to a boil. Add clams, cover, and cook 20 seconds. Uncover and cook, removing clams to a large bowl as they open, 3 to 4 minutes. Discard unopened clams.
- Add pasta, parsley, 1/2 cup pasta water, and 3 tablespoons garlic butter to skillet (reserve remaining garlic butter for another use). Cook, stirring, until pasta is cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cheese and stir, adding more pasta water as needed to create a silky sauce. Pour over clams; toss to combine. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with garlic slices and more cheese and parsley; serve.

[email protected]The spaghetti alle vongole was a disappointment. The clams were overcooked and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

[email protected]This spaghetti alle vongole was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was a good dish. The clams were cooked well and the sauce was flavorful. I think I would try using less salt next time.

[email protected]I love this recipe! The spaghetti alle vongole is always a crowd-pleaser. The briny clams and the tangy sauce are a perfect combination. I usually add a bit of extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it a little kick.
