Ingredients

1/2 C plus 2 T of the best olive oil ya got

2 medium size yellow onions chopped

1 small or 1/2 large dried red chili minced (more or less to taste, be careful)

6 cloves garlic minced

3 cans canned clams drained, (saving the liquid of 2 cans) *

liquid from 2 cans clams

1 T dried oregano

1 T dried basil

I C fresh parsley chopped

1 lb dried spaghetti noodles

Fresh grated Parmesan cheese

* I use 2 cans minced and 1 chopped clams

Directions

In your biggest frying pan (cast iron is best imho) GENTLY heat your olive oil

Add onions, garlic , dried red pepper and simmer SLOWLY till it starts smelling good all through your home.

Have a glass of wine, tell your guests a funny story, and start heating your pasta water

When the onions start to get soft and transparent, stir and let 'em simmer a minute or 2 longer while you open 3 cans 'O clams ... saving 2 cans worth of juice

Add the liquid from the 2 cans of clams

Add the dried oregano and dried basil

If you forgot, like I sometimes do, this is a great time time to

throw the Garlic bread in the oven

While the water for your pasta is heating, add the clams, parsley and a couple T's of the Parmesan to your sauce

Cook spaghetti noodles till al dente

Drain well and toss with the awesome sauce you have just created in your biggest frying pan

Serve with a nice white wine, tossed green salad, fresh grated Parmesan and don't forget the bread in the oven
