1
Boil Water
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil.
2
Cook Linguine
Add the linguine to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
3
Drain Pasta
Once cooked, reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the linguine and set aside.

4
Clean Clams
Rinse the fresh clams under cold water to remove any sand or grit.
5
Sauté Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6
Add Clams and Wine
Add the cleaned clams to the skillet along with the white wine. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams open up.
7
Season Sauce
Stir in red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
8
Combine Pasta and Clams
Add the drained linguine to the skillet with the clam sauce. Toss well to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a sauce.
9
Garnish
Chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the pasta before serving.
