Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

  3. 3

    Add the Beans and Clams

    Stir in the cannellini beans and the whole baby clams (including their juice) into the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. If the mixture seems dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Stir in the sliced Greek olives, chopped parsley, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot.
