How to make it

  • Wash clams, disgarding any that do not close or are cracked.
  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large stock pot and gently lay clams inside. Pour clam juice over the clams. Add all other seasonings to taste.
  • Cook covered, to build some steam. Stir often, to move clams that have opened up, making room for others to reach hotter area.
  • In another stock pot, bring water and salt to a boil. Drop spaghetti and cook al dente.
  • When all clams have opened, drain spaghetti and add to the pot of clams. Stir to coat the pasta. Sprinkle with a little more parsley and olive oil.
  • Pour all into a large serving bowl and enjoy with a mixed green salad and my "Mom's Delicious Garlic Bread".

    Did something similur once a few years ago and tasted fantastic. Only trouble was digging the clams out of the shells with all that pasta in the way was a cramp. I still do this dish but I take the clames out of the shell before adding the pasta. Clams here come by the gallon and it's nigh onto 100 or so. RJ
