Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 cups water
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 red Thai chile pepper, seeded and chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 pounds verace clams in shell, scrubbed
¾ cup white wine
12 ounces spaghetti
1 teaspoon lemon zest
½ cup chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring water to a boil in a stockpot; add salt. Reduce heat to a simmer.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil, followed by chile pepper and garlic. Cook and stir gently until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove garlic and chile pepper; discard. Add clams to the fragrant oil.
  • Pour wine over the clams and cover immediately. Let simmer until clams have opened, about 7 minutes. Remove clams using a slotted spoon to a large bowl. Cover to avoid losing their steam. Discard any unopened clams.
  • Pour four ladles of salted water into the skillet with the juice of the clams. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add spaghetti; move around with a pasta fork to keep from sticking together. Cook, adding a ladle or two of salted water as needed to keep spaghetti barely covered, until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Add clams and sprinkle in lemon zest. Give the skillet a hefty toss to gently mix the clams in the thickened sauce.
  • Divide into four pasta bowls. Cover with parsley and serve immediately with empty plates on the side for the shells while eating.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the clams and added some extra vegetables. It was a delicious and hearty meal.

I'm allergic to clams, so I used mussels instead. It was still very good.

This dish is a great way to showcase fresh clams. The briny flavor of the clams really shines through.
