This clam pasta is great for dinner and takes only 20 mins
• The taste is absolutely delicious, with the briny and fresh flavors of clams! Today I am going to teach you how to kick it up a notch by making Spicy Clam Pasta.
Crushed red pepper flakes turn a regular clam pasta into spicy clam pasta that is even more delicious, in my opinion.
The amount of red pepper flakes depends on your personal liking. You can always add some on top of the pasta before serving.
Cook the spaghetti until al dente
Do not overcook the spaghetti pasta. Each strand of the pasta noodle should have a firm bite in the center. The pasta will be added to the sauce so they will be cooked twice. The texture should be al dente when it's served.
Do not overcook the clams. As soon as the clam shells
are open, they are cooked.
Discard any clams that are not open as they are probably stale or dead, and might have a foul smell.
If you can't take alcohol, you may skip it and use water
For the best results, please use spaghetti, thick
spaghetti, spaghetti rigati or linguine.
