Preparation
1. Clean the Clams
Rinse the fresh clams under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Soak them in salt water for about 30 minutes to help purge any remaining sand.
2. Cook the Pasta (if using)
If you are adding pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cooking the Sauce
3. Sauté Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Add Clams and Spices
Add the cleaned clams to the skillet along with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
5. Deglaze with Wine
Pour in the white wine, stirring gently. Cover the skillet and allow the clams to steam for about 5-7 minutes until they open. Discard any clams that do not open.
6. Finish the Sauce
Once the clams are open, stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
Serving
7. Combine with Pasta (optional)
If using pasta, add the drained pasta to the skillet with the clam sauce. Toss to combine thoroughly.
8. Serve
Serve the hot clam sauce in bowls, garnished with additional parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
