RECIPE: Spaghetti & Clams in a white wine garlic sauce

Feeling adventurous? Well even if you're not, this recipe is still perfect because it is simple and looks much harder than it is! This is very simple and absolutely delicious- win win! 

STEP ONE: Assemble the ingredients! 
Spaghetti or linguini pasta
 Fresh clams
 White wine 
 Butter
Red pepper flakes
 Flat leafed parsley
 Olive oil, 
Parmesan cheese 

STEP TWO: Cook the pasta and leave aside. 
Then, wash the clams, THOROUGHLY! I'm serious, wash and scrub them each! Do not skip this step or your sauce will be salty and grainy with sand! Not yum!


STEP THREE: Mince and saute the garlic for about 30 seconds on med-high heat, being sure not to burn them! Do not add garlic to a cold pan! 

STEP FOUR: Add the Fresh clams, half a cup of white wine, one pat of butter, couple pinches of red pepper flakes, flat leafed parsley, freshly ground black pepper, and olive oil
You dont need to add salt!!!


STEP FIVE: Cover until clams start to open, then leave the lid open for a couple more minutes until the sauce reduces

STEP SIX: Remove the clams and let the sauce simmer until reaches a thinker consistency, then finish off with the rest of the butter


 STEP SEVEN: Add the pasta and clams back into the the pan and coat everything in the sauce and until everything is well heated!

 STEP SEVEN:
Plate and top with extra parsley and parmesan cheese.. then devour!




Enjoy!
