    Cook spaghetti according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan, add the garlic and chilli, then fry gently for a few seconds. Stir in the tomatoes, then add the clams and a splash of wine, salt and pepper and bring to the boil. Cover the pan and cook for 3-4 mins, until the clams are open.

I added 10% per person spag and I had 800g clams instead of 500 - 600. It was fabulous...just prep in advance. So quick, so delicious........

No tomatoes and no wine in this recipe. Garlic doesn;t have to be chopped, can be kept whole. here the orginal italian recipe: https://whatsfordinnerale.com/2016/02/03/la-pasta-alle-vongole/

Absolutely delicious, quick and simple to make. Be generous with the herbs, and don't limit yourself to parsley.
