Italian


4-10 Cloves Garlic, minced ( depending on how much you like garlic)
Olive Oil to coat the bottom of the pan
50 Little Neck Clams
1-2 bottles Clam Juice
Red Pepper flakes, to taste
Optional Cooked bacon/pancetta/prosciutto crumbled
Chopped Parsley, enough to sprinkle on top when serving
Linguini, or Angel Hair pasta (your preference) cooked Al Dente

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.
