Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 pounds fresh Manila clams or small littleneck clams, scrubbed
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 pound spaghetti

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add sliced garlic and sauté until light brown, about 1 minute. Add clams and 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley; stir 2 minutes. Add wine; simmer 2 minutes. Add fresh lemon juice. Cover and simmer until clams open, about 6 minutes (discard any clams that do not open).
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain. Add pasta to clam mixture and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to large bowl. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons parsley and serve.

I would make this recipe again, but I would make a few changes. I would use more garlic, and I would add some white wine to the sauce.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the sauce didn't thicken up. I had to add some cornstarch to get it to the right consistency.

The clams were a bit gritty. I think I'll soak them in salt water next time.

I thought the recipe was a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes, and it was much better.

I'm not a huge fan of clams, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sauce was so flavorful, and the clams were cooked perfectly.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover clams. I had some leftover from a clam bake, and this was the perfect way to use them up.

I served this dish with a side of crusty bread, and it was the perfect way to soak up the delicious sauce.

I used littleneck clams for this recipe, and they were perfect. I think Manila clams would also work well.

This spaghetti with fresh clams recipe is a keeper! The clams were plump and juicy, and the sauce was light and flavorful. I added a little extra lemon juice and red pepper flakes, and it was perfect.
