Yield Makes 4 to 6 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 lb sliced bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
2 1/2 lb tomatoes, chopped
3 dozen small hard-shelled clams (2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter; 3 1/2 lb total), scrubbed well
5 oz baby spinach (4 cups packed)
Accompaniment: crusty bread

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is golden, about 6 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to break down and sauce thickens slightly, about 8 minutes.
  • Increase heat to moderately high, then add clams and bring to a boil, covered. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until clams just open wide, about 6 minutes (discard clams that do not open after 10 minutes). Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. The clams were a bit tough and the sauce was bland.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili flakes or omitting them altogether.

I found the sauce to be a bit too salty. I would recommend using less salt or omitting it altogether.

I followed the recipe exactly and the clams were overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.
