Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation of Clams

    Rinse the clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit. Soak them in cold water for 20 minutes, then drain.

  2. 2

    Cooking the Base

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots, sauté until they are soft and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Adding Sauce and Wine

    Stir in the tomato sauce, white wine, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Cooking the Clams

    Add the rinsed clams to the skillet. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Discard any that remain closed.

  5. 5

    Finishing Touch

    Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread.
