SPAGHETTI ALLE VONGOLE VERACI
Steps:
- In a large bowl or the sink, soak the clams in salted water to cover for about 30 minutes. (Use this time to assemble what you will need for the recipe.) Discard any clams that rise to the surface, then drain, rinse well and place in a large fry pan. Bring a large pot three-fourths full of water (at least 4 qts) to boil over high heat. In a second large, deep fry pan over medium heat, warm the 1/4 cup olive oil. Add the garlic and chili and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and, using a slotted spoon, remove and discard the garlic and chili. Set the pan with the oil aside. When the pasta water is boiling, put the pan holding the clams over high heat and cover it. Add the 1 Tbs. salt and the pasta to the water and stir for the first minute of cooking and occasionally thereafter. After the pasta has cooked for 2 minutes, uncover the clams, reduce the heat to medium-high and donât take your eyes off them. Cook the clams just until they open, only about 2 minutes. As they open, use tongs to transfer them in their shells to the pan holding the olive oil. Be careful not to bring any water with them, and discard any clams that did not open. When all the clams are in the second pan, strain the liquid in the first pan through a fine-mesh sieve lined with 2 or 3 layers of cheesecloth, holding the sieve over the second pan, which should still be off the heat. When the pasta is 2 to 3 minutes from being al dente, scoop out about 1 cup of the pasta water and set it aside. Drain the pasta but not too dry. Return the pan holding the clams to low heat, add the pasta and toss well with the clams. Add 2 Tbs. or more of the pasta water and continue tossing until the pasta is al dente and a small amount of creamy sauce has formed, about 2 minutes. Mix in the parsley and a swirl of olive oil.
