1
Clean the Clams
Place the clams in a bowl of cold water with a bit of salt. Let them soak for about 20 minutes to help purge any sand.
2
Mince the Garlic
While the clams are soaking, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
3
Chop the Parsley
Remove the leaves from the parsley stems and chop them finely.

4
Sauté Garlic
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5
Add White Wine
Pour in the white wine and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
6
Cook the Clams
Add the cleaned clams to the pot. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Discard any that remain closed.
7
Season and Serve
Stir in the chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.
