Ensure you clams are clean by soaking them in cold, fresh water for a few hours.
Toast Garlic in olive oil and remove from pan.
Add Clams and Clam Juice. Bring to a simmer and cover, checking to be sure all the clams have opened. I recommend you do these in batches. Remove clams from their shells and place in a bowl.
Return the clams to the pan, along with the toasted garlic. Add more clam juice if needed.
Add Pepper flakes and mix together.
Serve over pasta.,if using bacon/pancetta/Prosciutto, sprinkle it over the top. Serve and let each person sprinkle their own parsley on top.
