    I love how he explains how the two main ingredients take centre stage in Pasta Dishes and how all other ingredients serve to enhance. That's what I like most about Italian pasta; beauty through simplicity.

    This is one of my all-time favorite dishes. One very important thing for those of you who've never made clams (And about which he does not mention) is the fact that if you overcook clams, they turn into rubber bands. I never make it the way he makes it here- in terms of the clams. I steam the clams and remove them immediately when they open. I cook the pasta in the clam juices the last 20% of the cooking time. Then, I add them all together again at the end. If you remove the clams, one by one, as they open, you will have delicious clams with the perfect texture.

      bhlynd, I endorse your method. Reared near the Massachusetts sea shore, I've loved clams all my life. But I hate the sand that gets into the chowder or whatever when clams are left in the shells. Far better to steam them separately, remove from the shells, and put in a bowl until added to the dish. Any leftover sand will stay with the shells or at the bottom of the bowl. And your guests don't have to figure out what do to with the empty shells.

    • @maddierosemusic

      And I will say I have made this exact dish many times,
      DO NOT over cook the clams. As a cook, you would pull them out early if you realized it's too much. THAT is what cooking is about.
      Not blindly following a recipe.

      That's the right way to prepare spaghetti with clams...
      Here in Italy we don't use chili cause Is to strong and risk to smoth the gentle taste of the clams.
      You deserve compliments for the final Cook in the Sea fruits and some cockwater

    Is not al dente but raw. One big mistake is to put wine after tomatoes. You should make the wine evaporate and later put some tomato. Last but not least put the parsley when the flame is off.

This should be done in a separate pan with clam juice steaming open the shelled clams then any sand can be strained out of the pan then added to the sauce , as always clams should be added as a last ingredient so they will be tender
